2022 – EGU
When you think about the last century of geoscience, what comes to mind? Perhaps Alfred Wegener’s theory of continental drift? Or Inge Lehmann’s discovery of Earth’s solid inner core? Over the last 100 years, geoscientists have made incredible contributions to our understanding of the Earth, the solar system, and beyond. The science community has explored uncharted territory, challenged previously held conceptions, provided vital information to policymakers, worked to address societal challenges, and put forth paths for sustainability. Through the years, researchers have also worked to promote diversity, inclusion, transparency, and accessibility in the geosciences. Many Europe-based scientists have been at the forefront of these advances. Inspired by the centennials of the American Geophysical Union (AGU) and the International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics (IUGG), which were both founded in 1919, we would like to highlight Europe’s role in shaping the geosciences and the great achievements of European geoscientists within the last century. In this series of interviews, scientists across different disciplines and scientific fields reflect on the last 100 years of Earth, space and planetary sciences in Europe and share their perspectives on the future:

2025 – Animation: “GRACEFUL: a deep inspiration”
When a student called Elise presents her school project on Earth’s deep interior, she unveils more than science — she reveals a personal transformation sparked by three pioneering women researchers. GRACEFUL: A Deep Inspiration is a poetic animated short film about science, curiosity, representation, and the beauty of discovery.

2024 – Scientific Game Jam
Can we explain scientific research with video games? This was the objective of this scientific game jam organized by CNES and Quai des Savoirs in Toulouse. Six CNES doctoral students presented their thesis in 180 seconds to video game creators. The following 48h – top time! – to code a playful version of this scientific work and submit a video game proposal to a jury of experts as well as to the public present. Mioara Mandea was involved in organising and Hugo Lecomte was one of the participating students.
