This submission reports on the continuing efforts by OSGeo activists within the annual General Assembly gatherings of the European Geoscience Union (EGU). Starting as improvided splinter events, the format soon emerged both into dedicated topical sessions for Open Source within the EGU division of Earth and Space Science Informatics (ESSI), but also dedicated annual evening events (Townhalls). Further, the format of topical Open Source sessions was quickly adopted also by the American Geophysical Union (AGU). This talk covers lessons learned from past events, current developments and opportunities within ESSI in EGU and AGU, and also new acitivities.

<p>This presentation reflects on the first Women’s Networking Events at the International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics’s General Assembly (2019) and the International Association of Geomagnetism and Aeronomy’s Electromagnetic Induction Workshop (2018). These meetings are historically extremely male-dominated events and the Women’s Networking Events provided a first-of-its-kind space for women to network with one another, creating solidarity and community for participants to rely on through the meeting and beyond. Both events were well attended, especially by early career women, with ~40 participants in each case. Women’s Networking Events have been present at the American Geophysical Union’s Fall Meeting for many years now, and these inaugural IUGG/IAGA Women’s Networking Events will hopefully lead to many more (indeed, the local organizing committee for the 2020 Electromagnetic Induction Workshop has already included the Women’s Networking Event in the workshop schedule and budget). This presentation will discuss the motivation behind the events, lessons learned, and ideas for the future.</p>

<p>Communicating the value of science to policymakers has never been more importance, but how do you make a difference while adhering to new norms for physical distancing? Regardless of one’s level of technological aptitude, and no matter if time constraints exist, scientists can still effectively communicate the value of their science to policymakers through virtual means. The Public Affairs team from the American Geophysical Union will share lessons learned from several virtual advocacy events held in 2020 and will cover a few communications strategies for influencing policymakers through virtual science policy engagements—from virtual meetings with policymakers to social media to traditional media.</p>

The geoscience and chemistry communities have numerous common practices and dependency on data standards. Recent efforts from the International Union on Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) and the American Geophysical Union (AGU) are to explore and collaborate on approaches and sharing lessons learned on efforts to implement the FAIR Guiding Principles as they apply to data in their respective communities. This paper summarizes their efforts-to-date highlighting the importance of existing communities, Scientific Unions, standards bodies and societies in taking deliberate steps to move and encourage researcher adoption of the FAIR tenets.
