Young Professionals Session

When: Tuesday 7 June from 16:00 to 18:00 CEST
Where: EAGE Dome and Online

The EAGE's Young Professionals community is our largest interest group: don't miss this chance to meet leaders and peers from all over the world, and to take home some constructive ideas for your future professional steps. The YP community has been leading a Special Session at each EAGE Annual meeting since 2015 to discuss specific challenges for those aged below 35 who are making or will soon need to make important decisions for their future careers.

Remote life – challenges and opportunities of work and education from your home office. In this Special Session for Young Professionals we are going to hear how organizations – form large international energy companies to start-ups and universities – adapted to the new era of remote-office work and education. What challenges they had to face and what opportunities revealed themselves as the new routines were put in place.
