The AGU fall meeting can be a bit overwhelming. There are so many events, sessions, and workshops going on and everything is competing with one another for participants. It can be easy to get lost in the program, so I decided I’d do my best to put together a little itinerary for those interested in science policy. These are sessions, events, workshops, etc. that interest me as a science policy enthusiast. I won’t claim that this list is complete (for the above-mentioned reasons), but I’ve done my best to break it down day by day to make it as easy and helpful as possible. I plan on updating and adding to this as the conference progresses, so make sure to check back regularly!
I urge you all to take advantage of all the great opportunities offered by AGU this year, especially since many events are free or unlimited capacity due to the virtual nature of the conference. If you still need to register, you can do so here!
As always, if you have any questions please feel free to reach out to me using the contact information below.
