The 20th European Meeting of Environmental and Engineering Geophysics took place in Athens in September 2014. The next edition will be held in Turin in 2015. For more information, please visit the website.

Athens has been chosen to host Near Surface Geoscience 2014. In 2014 this event will be expanded with conferences that run parallel to the 20th European Meeting of Environmental and Engineering Geophysics of EAGE's Near Surface Geoscience Division.

The conferences have their own technical programme and will attract people specialized in the conference topics as well as people with a broader Near Surface Geoscience focus. The combination of conferences offers participants from the different disciplines a chance to follow a technical programme specialized in their area of expertise whilst also being exposed to other disciplines.

Delegates will register for the conference of their interest. The registration gives them access to the technical programme of that specific conference. Moreover they are free to also attend the technical programmes of the other conferences and visit the exhibition. The social programme, consisting of the welcome reception and the conference dinner, is also included in each full registration.

The exhibition becomes the central place where companies from all disciplines display their products and services. The coffee breaks and welcome reception take place in the exhibition and provide excellent networking opportunities in an informal setting.

The article in the December edition of EAGE's First Break Magazine provides additional information about the set up of the Near Surface Geoscience event.

We look forward to welcoming you to Athens in September 2014!
