The EGU is planning to sponsor GIFT series around the world, each series receiving reduced funding over time, following a “capacity building” scheme. The first workshop series will be the Pan-American GIFT at Merida open to teachers in Central America and held at the new Parque Cientifico y Tecnologico de Yucatan (2020–2023). The second series is planned for the University of Cape Town and Iziko Museums of South Africa (2021–2024). GIFT works closely with its stewards and like-minded organizations to promote fiscal transparency, accountability and public participation across the world.

The annual evaluation data and feedback from the teachers involved indicate the great success of this strategy for the teachers, their colleagues and their pupils. The EGU Committee on Education has organised Geosciences Information for Teachers workshops since 2003. These are normally two-and-a-half-day teacher enhancement workshops held in conjunction with EGU’s annual General Assembly. There, selected top-level scientists working in the Earth sciences offer the invited teachers talks centred on a different theme every year.
A significant fraction of gifts are unwanted, or the giver pays more for the item than the recipient values it, resulting in a misallocation of economic resources known as a deadweight loss. Unwanted gifts are often “regifted”, donated to charity, or thrown away. A gift that actually imposes a burden on the recipient, either due to maintenance or storage or disposal costs, is known as a white elephant. A gift or a present is an item given to someone without the expectation of payment or anything in return. An item is not a gift if that item is already owned by the one to whom it is given. Although gift-giving might involve an expectation of reciprocity, a gift is meant to be free.

Your loved ones will appreciate how thoughtful and fun these are.
