We are back with the popular Geoweek, the week-long event conducted under the auspices of the “Geoscience for All” initiative, a volunteer initiative of professional Earth Scientists to promote Earth Literacy – translating information on Earth science into a language and learning that can be understood by the common man.
A week full of learning and fun activities…this year’s Geoweek will be held from 24th to 30th of November 2024. at different locations. As usual, the week will see a range of activities like Talks, Contests, workshops and much more…
The highlight of the week is our virtual galleries showcasing the artwork, photographic images and posters received in the contests.
This year’s theme - “Earth Science in Action: Solutions for a Changing World" highlights the significance of Earth science in achieving the goal of understanding and preserving our planet. In an era of rapid environmental change, Earth Science is at the forefront of developing solutions that ensure a sustainable future. Our theme for this year "Earth Science in Action: Solutions for a Changing World" highlights the dynamic role that Earth scientists play in addressing some of the most pressing challenges of our time - climate change, natural resource management, and disaster mitigation.
All contests, exhibits and installations are based on the annual theme.
