The European Association of Geoscientists and Engineers (EAGE) is a multi-disciplinary professional association for geoscientists and engineers. It was founded in 1951 and has a worldwide membership.[1] The association changed name from European Association of Exploration Geophysicists in 1995.[2] The association is intended for persons that are studying or otherwise professionally involved in geophysics, petroleum exploration, geology, reservoir engineering, mining, and civil engineering. EAGE operates two divisions: the Oil & Gas Geoscience Division and the Near Surface Geoscience Division.[3] The head office of EAGE is located in the Netherlands, with regional offices in Moscow, Dubai, Kuala Lumpur and Bogota.
Activities[]
The main activities of EAGE are:
- The organisation of conferences, exhibitions, workshops and webinars
- Publications (journals, books)
