Annual Report 2019

It has been quite a year for the European Association of Geoscientists and Engineers, with incredible events, ground-breaking publications, wonderful communities and let’s not forget, excellent members from across the world and from every corner of the fields of geoscience and engineering.

Keep Going

We hope you will join us as we remember a fantastic 2019!

SUCCESS STORIES

Of course, success isn’t a number- it’s a story! Here are some of the fun success stories from this year from our regions and departments. Not all of these were our biggest events, or our widest read publications, but they touch on some of the diversity that lies at the heart of our multidisciplinary association.

In April 2019, EAGE organized the 20th European Symposium on Improved Oil Recovery (IOR 2019). This traditional conference took place in Pau, France. Delegates were very enthusiastic about the event (96% of the survey participants were happy with the event organization). The event had also 22% more participants compared to former years. The next edition will ne in Vienna, in April 2021.

A lot is always happening in Europe- but we can never forget our flagship Near Surface Geoscience Conference and Exhibition, which took place this year The Hague with four exciting conferences: but we think the video below can tell you more about that than we can!

Our colleagues in Russia had some real excitement with a new venture:

During the recent NAPE event, EAGE and EAGE Nigeria Local Chapter hosted an afternoon of activities which comprised of an Introduction of EAGE to Young Professional, Career talk on “The Importance of Networking and Strategic Repositioning” and a quiz for those in attendance.

It was well attended with over 40 participants!

Local Chapters

The DigitalGeoHack (15-16 Nov 2019, Paris) Local event organized by Local Chapter Paris in collaboration with IPGP, successfully engaging members of 3 different special interest communities: women in geoscience, young professionals and artificial intelligence. This event was described as innovative, productive and useful for networking by the participants, who were 50% data science specialists and 50% geoscientists working together on a set of different problems.

Students

After a two-year break, the 8th International Geosciences Student Conference (IGSC) is back, it was organized by EAGE student Chapters and took place in Uppsala, Sweden on 16-20 June with the EAGE Student Fund as one of the sponsors. 9th International Geosciences Student Conference (IGSC) will take place 5-11 June 2020 in the The RWTH Aachen University. in Aachen, Germany, and EAGE student chapters are leading the organization of one event made by students for students.

Education

Artificial Intelligence has firmly taken its place in the Education portfolio: Data Science was added as a new category to the short course catalogue and now contains 5 courses. The Education Days Amsterdam, which took place in November 2019, were themed around Machine Learning and proved a very successful event.

As you can see, it’s been quite a year. And none of this would have been possible without our loyal members. So with the end of the year approaching, let us say:

Thanks for being with EAGE throughout 2019!
