Paul Horowitz is Professor of Physics and of Electrical Engineering at Harvard, where he arrived as an impressionable freshman some 40 years ago and, well, just never left. Paul has published many scientific papers, led two dozen technical studies and authored a hundred reports on topics in national security as a member of JASON. He is a leading researcher in SETI (the search for extraterrestrial intelligence). It’s said that Carl Sagan based the main character in Contact partly on Horowitz, although he bears very little resemblance to Jody Foster.

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.
