Several members of the Climate Modelling Group travelled to Vienna to present their work at the EGU General Assembly 2025.

The European Geosciences Union held its annual General Assembly in Vienna from 27 April to 2 May, drawing over 20,000 attendees from around the world. This year, the Climate Modelling Group was well represented, with several members presenting their latest research through both talks and poster sessions. We were lucky to enjoy a sunny week in Vienna, which provided the perfect backdrop for reconnecting with colleagues, meeting new collaborators, and engaging in inspiring scientific discussions.

We thank all our group members who dedicated their time and effort to prepare presentations and represent the Climate Modelling Group at the EGU General Assembly 2025!
