ABOUT THE SYMPOSIUM
First EAGE Atlantic Geoscience Resource Exploration & Development Symposium 2025 is a premier event, bringing experts from around the globe to delve into the multifaceted aspects of the Atlantic Conjugate Margins, encompassing geological, economic, and environmental perspectives. Aligned with His Majesty King Mohammed VI’s Atlantic Initiative, the conference highlights our dedication to fostering collaboration across Africa, contributing to the development of the Atlantic’s energy resources, and highlights the importance of international collaboration and sustainable development in resource exploration.
This conference is dedicated to the exploration of the intriguing geological and economic phenomena associated with the Atlantic Conjugate Margins, extending across multiple continents. It offers at the same time an exceptional platform to delve into the geological complexities, resource opportunities, the latest discoveries and the integration of sustainability into resource exploration.
