2010 is finally on us. My name is Kate and I am the young professionals coordinator for the Congress. I will be writing a blog through to the start of the IAEG Congress in Sept 2010. There will be Congress updates and also interesting geological/ engineering news on the way! I will also be adding some background information on the mid and post field trips which are also available as part of the Congress activities.
Don’t forget, congress papers are due 7 February and registrations are open with super early-bird to the 31 March, saving NZ$400 on full fees!
Those that may be under financial hardship can apply for the Solidarity Fund. Applications close 31 March.
YPs should also register for the YP programme at the bottom of the online registration form.
On 5 September, before the Congress begins, the YP programme is focused on young professionals and student engineering geologists, it includes
- Breakfast with adventurer Jamie Fitzgerald: World-record trans-Atlantic rower, South Pole adventurer, international speaker, business owner and ex-bank manager
- Morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea provided
- Richard Wolters Prize Presentations
- Match Racing in America’s Cup Yachts
If there is anything that you would like to see/ discuss in particular please comment and I’ll see what I can do.
See you in 8 months.
