What is the task of the science-team?

The Science Team oversees the scientific work of EGEA. This is done by providing scientific guidelines and assistance to events within EGEA. The produced scientific output is furthermore collected and published by the Science Team. This is done in close collaboration with the European Geographer. The communication of scientific work from EGEA is enhanced through our Instagram channel, on which the weekly Fun-Fact-Friday posts are released. Another responsibility of the Science Team is to promote EGEA Theme Year (e.g., Agrifuture in 2024, Circular Economy in 2025, Geopolitical Risk in 2026).

Science Saturday!

Starts end of November 2025

Fun-Fact-Friday will be replaced by Science Saturday by the end of November. After a year of Fun-Facts we realised it takes up a lot of work capacities and the reach of the posts is very limited. Therefore we want to change to a format which we release every two weeks and include also scientific facts which are not so fun but still provide a great learning experience.
