RAL at AGU 2025
Where Science Connects Us.
12:00 am – 11:59 pm MST

The AGU Annual Meeting 2025 will be held in New Orleans, Louisiana on 15-19 December 2025. Each year it is the largest gathering of Earth and space scientists, convenes 25,000+ attendees from 100+ countries to share research and connect with friends and colleagues. Scientists, educators, policymakers, journalists and communicators attend AGU25 to better understand our planet and environment, opening pathways to discovery, opening greater awareness to address climate change, opening greater collaborations to lead to solutions and opening the fields and professions of science to a whole new age of justice equity, diversity, inclusion and belonging.
We’re proud to continue our involvement and look forward to connecting with you there!
