Inspired, like so many, by Sir David Attenborough, Kathryn Jeffs decided from a very early age that she wanted a life working with wildlife. She got her break working with the team who made Attenborough's Trials of Life and went on direct and produce on Life of Mammals, Planet Earth and Wild China. For the series Frozen Planet, she directed and produced the ‘Winter’ film and led the Antarctic teams who filmed wave washing killer whales and the deadly ice brinicle. More recently she survived filming the epically stormy series, Wonders of the Monsoon. Currently she is producing the series, Attenborough’s Passion Projects, to be broadcast as part of a celebration of Sir Davids 90th birthday. She is a STEM ambassador, working to share her enthusiasm of science with the younger generation, and a learner mum.

Register for EG 2020.

30 April - 2 May 2020

Our team has been working hard behind the scenes to bring you a superb program for EG2020. However, in light of growing and legitimate concerns regarding the rapid spread of Coronavirus (COVID-19) which have gutted international events of all sizes, we have made the difficult decision to put EG on hiatus until it is once again deemed safe.


We know how much each of you look forward to EG and we were looking forward to seeing old friends, and welcoming many new ones, but we do need to prioritize the health and safety of our attendees, presenters, and partners, especially those traveling from afar.

We will be in touch in due course with future plans.
