Challenge yourself at the YP Summit With the EAGE Annual Conference approaching, it’s time to start planning and browse the many opportunities that are offered in June. Young professionals and students, in particular, can look forward to a rewarding programme happening before and during the conference, where the YP Summit is certainly a highlight. This event is a collaborative effort of three societies - EAGE, PESGB and SPE - and brings you the best of them through a combined organizing committee and programme. The ambitions of the event span across multiple topics to provide participants with a truly multi-disciplinary
and hands-on overview of different career opportunities and their perspectives. The programme features interactive talks focused on three main topics (The Energy Transition; Innovation: New technologies and multi-disciplinary opportunities; and Career development and transferable skills. There will be plenty of chances to exchange views and seek advice from the speakers) and chances to exchange views and advice with the speakers. To top it all, the day (8 June) will conclude with the Energy Transitions Challenge: a simulation game presented by Shell to explore future scenarios in a dynamic and
fun way! This exercise will put you in the shoes of a government, consumer, energy provider, NGO or industry executive. You will have to keep the economy going while making the energy transition. Time will be of the essence. You will be faced with dilemmas: should you prioritize your short-term individual objective or invest for the common good? Will your fellow players enable or default you? Can you rely on their commitments? Join the YP Summit to challenge yourself and explore new perspectives for your future career. Registrations are open at yp-summit.org
Get this: you can still submit research abstracts for our transition conference There’s still time to get involved in our 1st Geoscience & Engineering in Energy Transition Conference (GET2020) being held on 16-18 November 2020 in Strasbourg, France with abstracts still being accepted. Co-chairs of the event say that this will be an opportunity to discuss skills and technologies that are going to be required to support the growth of renewable energy in the energy mix. Furthermore, it offers a forum to exchange knowledge about geothermal, CCS, energy storage and cross disciplines like hazardous (nuclear) waste storage, hydrogen/methane production and stor-
