The Student Programme at the 71st Annual Conference and Exhibition incorporating EUROPEC 2009 in June 2009 has come to an end!

EAGE would like to thank all the Student Programme sponsors and student participants for being part of this fantastic event. The upgraded Student Programme and Evening proved successful assisting students in learning both technical and practical skills, being introduced to recruitment companies, presenting their poster work, building their networks and having plenty of fun in the student court with the 'battle of the bikes' activities as well as the beach themed Student Evening.

We anticipate an equally exciting Student Programme next year and look forward to seeing you all again in Barcelona!

Are you interested in developing an EAGE Student Chapter in your University or local student community?

Are you confident that you can encourage students to come together interested in sharing Geoscience technical and industry information, learn about EAGE student opportunities, participate in an online Geo-Quiz as well as potentially create local student for student activities or events? If you're motivated to make a difference in your University or community, don't hesitate to get in contact with the EAGE Student Coordinator at students@eage.org.

EAGE, because we're serious about students!
