Welcome to Aberdeen!
EAGE is pleased to invite you to
visit Aberdeen for our Education Days
Aberdeen 2018.
Dear Colleagues,
On behalf of the Board of the European Association of Geoscientists and Engineers (EAGE), I am pleased
to introduce our multiple short course programme ‘Education Days Aberdeen 2018’, which will take place
on 28-31 August 2018 in Aberdeen, United Kingdom.
The event consists of multiple one-day and two-day short courses delivered by distinguished geoscientists
and professionals. The courses are carefully selected to ensure a consistent programme with appeal to a
broad geoscience and engineering audience. Multiple courses and topics are offered during the week,
thus insuring that all attendees can customize an educational programme appropriate to their own needs
and interests.
Education Days is an ideal platform to increase knowledge and awareness of new methodology for
geoscience specialists. These short courses do not only reflect the latest scientific developments in
geosciences, but also demonstrate applications of these theories to real-life problems.
I strongly encourage you to participate in one or more short courses during the EAGE Education Days in
Aberdeen. I am sure that you will be positively surprised by the high quality and professionalism of the
courses.
Jorg Herwanger I Education Officer (EAGE Board)
