European Geosciences Union
General Assembly 2004

www.copernicus.org/EGU/ga/egu04


We hereby invite the scientists of all nations to submit their abstracts by

11 January 2004, 24:00 GMT

The deadlines for pre-registration and for pre-hotel booking are

08 April 2004

On-site registration and booking of accommodation on-site is, of course, 
also possible.

Improved Meeting Sites

The sites of the Assembly have been greatly improved as compared to the 
EGS-AGU-EUG Joint Assembly 2003:

* posters, exhibition, additional meeting and lecture rooms and large 
  Internet and Wlan sites are now located in an additional 10.000 sqm 
  building, the Exhibition Centre.

* the tent on Esplanade is for registration only with separate space for 
  pre- and on-site registrants

* the Congress Centre is reserved for oral sessions only with AGORA 2 and 3 
  for seating and Wlan areas.

All poster boards are now landscape of 2 m (width) x 1 m (height) in size, 
put up in a straight rather than in a zick-zack arrangement, plus a power 
socket for additional Laptop/Mac presentations.

Thus, for EGU 2004 there will be 10.000 sqm more space for posters and 
the exhibition, more lecture and meeting rooms, better catering facilities 
and more science to enjoy.

We are looking forward to meeting you again in Nice.

Best wishes for 2004
