EAGE Awards

Recognizing and honouring scientific advances is an important and integral role of the Association. This can even go beyond our membership, with EAGE’s highest award, the Desiderius Erasmus Award for lifetime contributions to resource exploration and development, which can be conferred upon any geoscientist or engineer in recognition of his/her outstanding and lasting achievements.

The nominations for the 2022 EAGE Awards are closed and we would like to thank all the nominators who submitted an entry: thank you for helping us recognize and celebrate promising talents and great contributions!

The recipients of the 2022 EAGE Awards will be announced during the Opening Session.
