This is an opportunity to meet the volunteer members of the EGU EDI Committee in a safe and inclusive space and learn more about the initiatives implemented by the EGU to raise awareness of the diverse challenges faced by diverse and often under-represented geoscientists. This is an informal networking event where diverse geoscientists attending can interact with one another and with other geoscientists to build new connections across research and participation barriers.  There will be an opportunity for rising geoscientists from diverse backgrounds to discuss the challenges that affect them and their colleagues personally, providing an opportunity to share their experiences and stories with one another and to provide feedback and ideas on a range of important problems that can support our diverse geoscience community. Everyone welcome.
