What We Do

AUGEN - the Australasian Universities Geoscience Educators Network - was established in early 2012. We encourage and support excellence in teaching and learning in geoscience across Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific. Please join us!

Geoscience education is important. Geoscience is required in many fields now and will be increasingly important into the future. Training in geoscience provides a critical perspective on Earth history that informs decision making in many different fields. Teaching excellence is about the future success of our research and our discipline more broadly.
