Upon reviewing the situation and based on local advice regarding COVID-19, EAGE has decided to hold the EAGE Seabed Seismic Workshop on a virtual platform and fully online.
This new format gives us the opportunity to pursue an even higher quality in our technical programme and extended activities. We warmly invite you to join us in September 2020 for an exciting online event.
Please note: This change does not have any bearing on any other EAGE related event. Each event is judged on a case-by-case basis. As of now only a very limited number of events are affected and we fully expect the majority of our events to run uninterrupted throughout the year.
EAGE would like to make clear that we are carefully
monitoring the possible impact of any further spread of the Coronavirus
(COVID-19) on all our scheduled events. Our first priority is the health and
welfare of the wider EAGE community, and we are basing all decisions on the
advice of the World Health Organization, as well as appropriate national and
local authorities.
As a global organization EAGE hosts events all around
the world, and monitors each local context and decides policy for each event on
a case-by-case basis. If you are attending, or planning to attend an event with
EAGE, please consult the specific event website for the most up-to-date
information and guidelines. Find your event at: www.events.eage.org.
All intending participants at upcoming meetings should be assured that we will
issue immediate notice if advised that a particular conference, workshop, etc.
is no longer appropriate in the current environment.
In the meantime we would suggest that members follow current assessments of the
impact of the COVID-19 as indicated by the WHO on its website. If traveling,
immigration advisories issued by individual countries should also be checked.
If you are attending one of our events, we recommend following the hygiene
guidelines offered by the WHO. You can find these guidelines here: https://www.who.int/emergencies/diseases/novel-coronavirus-2019/advice-for-public
We at EAGE wish the very best to all those affected directly and indirectly by
the outbreak of COVID-19. We remain optimistic that this situation will soon
run its course, but are ready, willing and able to make the right decisions for
attendees, should the need arise.
