#vEGU21: Welcome to the EGU General Assembly!
Access our virtual conference centre
Our virtual conference centre is accessible for all attendees with a completed registration for vEGU21. It links all sessions, side events, exhibitor portals, and allows you to network. It is optimized for Chrome/Edge browsers, but works fine on Firefox and Safari. If anything goes wrong, please try first to hard refresh the page (e.g. Ctrl+F5 on Windows), not only a simple refresh. JavaScript and style sheet files are often cached in your browser. Click on the welcome portal below and please enjoy vEGU21 to the fullest. Thank you very much.

Solicited 5-minute or 10-minute presentations require a presentation in the formats *.pdf, *.ppt/pptx, or *.pps/ppsx.

Start the vEGU21 networking already now
Our vEGU21 Networker allows you to update your profile, decide about information you aim to share with your colleagues, connect to colleagues through their email address, watch the profiles of your colleagues, and start spontaneous text chats once they are online. Start now by checking your profile and then build your network. Further information is given on the GeoLog post on the vEGU21 Profile and the conference Networker.
For the full functionality of our platform (particularly the push notifications connected to the vEGU21 Networker and the Virtual Handshake) we recommend that all attendees use Chrome or Edge internet browsers. If you do not want to use these platforms you will still be able to participate in the General Assembly, but you will have more limited functionality of some of our networking tools.
