Professor John Underhill, Aberdeen University’s Interdisciplinary Director for Energy Transition, University of Aberdeen, and member of the local advisory committee said: “Aberdeen was a natural home for EAGE because this is a city where geoscience, engineering and energy expertise are part of everyday life. The conference themes included extending, translating and repurposing basins like the North Sea for the energy transition through the application of new technologies, are directly connected to the research, industry partnerships and skills base that exist here.
“Bringing EAGE to Aberdeen was an opportunity to showcase that expertise to a global audience, while also creating a meaningful legacy through field trips, outreach and engagement with young people. It has been hugely rewarding to see the academic community, industry, P&J Live and the wider destination work together to deliver an event of this scale and quality.”
