Student Chapter geo quiz winners announced
21 May 2021
We are pleased to announce the winners of the recent Geo Quiz for Student
Chapters. This year, our top performing teams come from three
different countries: Brazil, Malaysia and Hungary.
Student Chapter winners
The Student Chapter Geo Quiz is a special delivery for chapter representatives, pitting the various chapters against each other. Each chapter had the opportunity to have up to three representatives participate. It was a tightly contested quiz this year, but we are pleased to announce the following winners:
Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS (Malaysia)
Federal University of Bahia (Brazil)
University of Miskolc (Hungary)
Winning student chapters receive support to participate in EAGE’s meetings and online education activities. Congratulations to all winning chapters!
New student webinars coming up in May
23 April 2021
Student webinars have proven to be a successful formula for students to
gain exposure to new insights from experts – even when working from
home.
For that reason, the EAGE Student Fund helps to support the creation and
delivery of new student webinars, delivered throughout the year on a
variety of topics. Some of the instructors involved in this previously
supported us through the delivery of our EAGE Student Lecture Tours, other
are new additions to the curriculum.
In May, two webinars are scheduled. Registrations are open to all student
members and are free to attend.
- “Managing a Career in the Energy Transition” by Sean McQuaid (19
May, 9:00-10:30 CEST) - “Noise, Bias and Geology – How to Quantify Uncertainties for Probabilistic Seismic Inversion” by Patrick Connolly (21 May, 15:00-
16:00 CEST)
For those students without an EAGE membership, there are still supported
membership grants for 2021 available.
Student membership grants application open
12 April 2021
Many within our wider student community will be working towards their
end of year research projects and exams. If you are, make sure to explore
the opportunities to tap into a whole depository of knowledge through a
student membership grant, providing you access to EAGE’s EarthDoc
(amongst other things)!
Every year, the EAGE Student Fund helps students to get acquainted with
EAGE through the membership grant programme, providing students the
opportunity to access EAGE membership for free.
Recipients of the EAGE student membership grant will be able to access the
full backlog of EarthDoc, in addition to a journal of their choice. Additional
opportunities include access to Learning Geoscience and the opportunity to
participate in EAGE’s student activities throughout the year.
Membership support is providing on a rolling basis with limited places
available each year. Students interested in applying can learn more at the
dedicated page.
Volunteer with us as a webinar instructor
23 February 2021
Update 12 April: we are in the process of completing our 2021 agenda of
student webinars and are therefore currently no longer looking for new
instructors. We want to give a big thank you to all who agreed to support the
programme!
In 2021 we want to help students access as much interesting course material as possible.
Access to information and course material is not a given. With students having to
rely on the services available to them at home, it can be difficult to be exposed to
new experiences or expertise.
For that reason, we want to bring interesting course material to our student community
through EAGE Student Webinars. These webinars are 1 hour long deliveries on a variety of topics.
Our webinars build on the EAGE Student Lecture Tour programme,
and we are grateful to our instructors for dedicated their time and knowledge to help us do so.
We represent a diverse student community, something we like to see reflected in
our student webinar portfolio. We are therefore looking for new volunteers to help us
further grow the number of student webinar deliveries.
We would welcome proposals for training one-hour student webinars from across the globe.
If you have what it takes, please reach out to us via email.
EAGE community raises over 3.5K
26 Feb, 2021
In the first months of the EAGE 2021 Membership renewal, EAGE members
have donated over EUR 3500,– to the EAGE Student Fund – an amazing feat!
Prospective and renewing EAGE members have the opportunity to, in
addition to their membership, make a donation the the EAGE Student Fund
as well as the EAGE Green Fund. These donations are of great help in the
further development of our activities.
When securing your EAGE membership, please consider supporting our
mission. If you are already a member for this year and missed the option to
donate, you can do so through our dedicated EAGE donation platform.
Many thanks for your support!
First e-Summits 2021 announced
23 Feb 2021
The EAGE Student e-Summits are back for a second season. After the launch
of the initiative in April 2020 and the subsequent successful continuation of
the series, we are bringing you new meetings each month for our student
community to engage in.
Through the e-Summits project, we try to connect students with Young
Professionals and other students to help them develop themselves and
learn from experiences of others.
In March, we will be bringing you two e-Summits:
- Working together, apart – best practices from student teams on
distanced group work - Hit the Road – Geoscience careers in Infrastructure and the built
environment
More information, including speakers, is available at the dedicated EAGE e-
Summit page. Registration is free for all students interested in geoscience
and related engineering disciplines.
Four reasons why the ESF supports geoscience students
24 January 2021
In 2021 the EAGE Student Fund will continue to work on bringing
geoscience students together to prepare them for the geo-scientific
challenges of tomorrow.
Still, early on in the new year, we collected four main reasons why the ESF
supports the international geoscience student community and what we do
to get there, plus one way how you can help.
Connecting students in disruptive times
Whether it is access energy, urbanization, prevention of natural hazards or
climate change, geoscientists play an important role in identifying and
tackling these challenges. Issues often do not merely affect individual cities,
regions or countries, but require an international scope to be tackled
effectively. Especially in times like these, meaningful community events are
key to facilitate cooperation to do so.
The ESF, therefore, facilitates programmes to stimulate international
interaction and knowledge sharing, helping students gain new skills to help
them in their future careers.
In 2020 we developed a couple of new initiatives to accommodate for the
new situation connecting online, such as our EAGE Student webinars and
the e-Summit series. These new initiatives bring together students from
various universities in a time this is not always possible.
Opportunities for all
To build strong international communities, one needs access to academic
resources. Many of today’s geological and geophysical challenges relate to
the global South, where students may have fewer academic resources
available.
ESF supports activities to increase information. Through our Student
Membership grants, we want to open up geoscientific publications and
abstracts to students worldwide.
Skills to excel
In addition to academic excellence, the ESF strives to provide Earth Science
students with useful skills not directly gained in the classroom itself.
The ESF helps students to gain practical by support fieldwork, supports
student chapters with their own events and conferences and stimulates
cross-disciplinary cooperation through the Laurie Dake Challenge and
Geo-Quiz.
Promoting the next generation of
geoscientists and engineers
It is not always easy for students to connect with peers and the professional community – especially not when all networking is done from behind a computer. For that reason, we’re offering students a platform to present their research and stories by offering event grants to EAGE conferences.
How you can contribute
The ESF cannot fulfil its mission without the support of our funders. We
would therefore like to thank our company and individual funders for
their donations in 2020.
If you want to contribute, please consider making a one-time donation or
donate your knowledge and time as a volunteer. If you would like to learn
more about giving back to the geoscience student community in a different
way, please do get in touch.
Sclocchi Award nominations open
18 January 2021
We believe student excellence should be recognized. For that reason, the
EAGE Student Fund works together with the SPE Italian Section and
Assorisorse to make the 28th Gustavo Sclocchi Thesis Award possible.
About the Sclocchi Award
The award was established to reward high quality thesis work at Italian
universities as well as Italians completing degrees abroad. The award has
two categories: Level A (Master of Science (Laurea Magistrale) theses and
Doctor of Philosophy (Dottorato di Ricerca) theses and Level B (2nd Level
Master Reports and Bachelor of Science (Laurea di I livello) theses). In
addition to a certificate, awardees will receive EUR 2 400,– (category A) or,
EUR 1 200,– (category B).
2020 Sclocchi Award now open
The organizers of the award are currently welcoming submissions from
recent graduates – anyone graduating between 1 October 2019 and 31
December 2020 can apply. Are you a recent graduate? Make sure to check
on your eligibility and how to apply today, as the deadline to submit details
and abstract of your research is 28 February 2021.
Gustavo Sclocchi Award Application – Eligibility & Procedure
Student Chapters & Membership Support
5 January, 2021
Happy new year!
The EAGE Student Fund will endeavour to make a wide range of activities to
students available in 2021 virtually and, where possible later in the year, in
person.
Key to this is our Student membership support programme. Student
chapters can receive up to 15 membership grants for their members to
access EAGE materials and services. Students exploring EAGE membership
for the first time can also apply to a student membership grant.
Setting up a student chapter provides you with several benefits, amongst
them the membership grants. In addition to this, you can count on support
for the developments of your own activities and you can participate in
student chapter only events, such as the online geo quiz programme and
the option to request virtual online student lecture deliveries.
If you are renewing your student chapter or if you are interested in
establishing a chapter at your university, make sure to read up on the
guidelines and steps here.
Include the ESF in your end of year giving
With the year coming to a close, we look back at a disruptive, but also
innovative year. Working from home and the move to online activities
allowed for the development of new initiatives to continue our work and
help students prepare themselves for a strong start of their career.
Innovation in 2020
In March, a full transition to online activities was made. A red thread
throughout was the inception of our e-Summit series, but also other
activities traditionally taking place in person, such as the Laurie Dake
Challenge, Geo Quizes and student lecture tours all moved online
successfully. We want to thank all people who helped us make this happen!
Support innovation – donate today
In order to keep on innovating and offer students continued support both
online and in person, the EAGE Student Fund relies on donations from
companies and individuals. We would therefore like to ask you, where
possible, to consider donating to the EAGE Student Fund.
You can do so via the website, or by contacting us directly about your gift.
Many thanks for your support!
