Following up on proposals we received from EAGE members about how they can support their Ukrainian colleagues, the EAGE Student Fund established a new programme to help support the travel and accommodation costs of their Ukrainian colleagues’ attending the 84th EAGE Annual Conference & Exhibition and other EAGE events in 2023.
EAGE members who wish to contribute to this initiative can donate here.
