The EAGE WGE community is the network of members with the mission of growing a collaborative network across genders, ages and specializations, and supporting equity in the fields of geoscience and engineering.
Motivational advice and mentoring, sharing career opportunities and discussing the challenges of women’s retention in the industry have been at the heart of the WGE activities since the start. Over time, the conversation has greatly expanded, touching upon issues such as diversity, inclusion and – more recently – work/life balance (especially in times of lockdown), dual careers and leadership.
The community is open to all, regardless of gender!

“Being part of the EAGE Group helped me increase my network in a brand new and interesting direction. Sharing post, ideas, experience, solutions with the committee and others members of the group certainly had a huge impact on the way I am now envisioning my career and family life and making it all work in a great synergy!”
