Hello everyone,

Are you interested in sharing your **Pangeo-related work** at the **EGU General Assembly 2026** in Vienna(3–8 May 2026)?

We’re convening the ESSI session:

**ESSI4.4 – Pangeo and DGGS: Enabling FAIR, Open, and Reusable Workflows for Transdisciplinary Earth Science**

## **What the session is about**

This session focuses on how **Pangeo’s open-source ecosystem** and **Discrete Global Grid Systems (DGGS)** enable FAIR, scalable, and reusable workflows across Earth, ocean, climate, and environmental sciences.

## This year the session will be held in **PICO** format.

A PICO combines the advantages of both oral and poster presentations:

- Each author gives a **very short (~2-minute) oral pitch** to the full audience.

- Afterwards, there is an **interactive discussion phase at touch screens** , where attendees can explore your full presentation, ask questions, and discuss in detail.

It’s a very friendly, interactive format that works especially well for showing workflows, demos, and notebooks.

## **How to submit**

- Session page (description & abstract link):

From the session page, click on **“Submit your abstract”** and follow the EGU instructions.

## **Abstract submission deadline (EGU-wide):**

👉 **Thursday, 15 January 2026, 13:00 CET**

We’re looking forward to showcasing the breadth of Pangeo and DGGS work and to building new collaborations across communities.

**Thank you, and we hope to see you in Vienna!**

Please also **spread the word** by forwarding or copy–pasting this announcement to your colleagues, projects, and mailing lists. 🙏
