The week of the EPSC-DPS Joint meeting will be a busy one, filled with nine parallel science sessions each day and many interesting and exciting Community Events and Splinter Sessions. See https://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EPSC-DPS2019/meetingprogramme
As a result of this very busy schedule, the typical plenary sessions, such as the DPS and EPSC business meetings, have been scheduled during the lunch breaks (12:00 – 13:30). DPS and EPSC will provide lunch bags for attendees to make it easier for you to attend these events. Food cannot be eaten in the conference rooms during the meetings, so the lunch bags will be distributed either before or after the meeting.
A list of Community Events and Splinter Sessions that might be of interest to the DPS membership are given below. Events with lunch bags provided are indicated with *.
