In 2015, She was asked to set-up a road map for relations with EU as a new initiative of EAGE, and currently working as EU Public Affairs Officer in order to build a bridge between the EU and geosciences world. In this process, she was involved in several EU initiatives and she was a member of the Executive Board of the EU-funded Smart Exploration project, leading dissemination and communication activities in 2017-2021. She is following energy related dossiers and discussions closely. 

Glen’s work with EFG draws on over 20 years of global experience spanning a broad range of organisations and cultures. This includes as a front-line project geoscientist and, ultimately, management advisor on large oil & gas projects, where he became a trusted voice on technical assurance, project governance and capability development.

He has also driven several cross-industry efforts concerning the handling of risk and the use of geological models, including several pioneering conferences for the Geological Society of London. He is a member of the Institute of Directors, Chatham House, European Society of Association Executives, Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society and Platinum member of the European Association of Geoscientists and Engineers.

European Federation of Geologists (EFG) is the representative body for the continent’s professional geological associations and currently heavily involved in responding to the new opportunities and threats for the geological profession in Europe as it enters a period of significant change in how, where and why it operates. The promotion of the profession’s value for sustainable resourcing and protecting the public from environmental hazards involves building relationships with our key “customers” among EU and national policymakers, industry decision-makers, engineers and peer sectors, as well as the media and the public at large. EFG does this through participation in multiple EU Horizon Programme projects, promotion of excellence in the application of geoscience and setting of international standards, dedicated Expert Panels and Working Groups on the most important topics of concern as well as a wide production of events and media content.
