DEVEX YP and Early Careers Event – 20^th May, 13.30 – Book now!

Empowering conversations, bridging the gap between energy and community.

Professor John Underhill, University Director for Energy Transition, University of Aberdeen

We believe that it is imperative that those of us working in the upstream energy industry in the UK become more vocal and challenge the perspectives often portrayed in the media. It is becoming increasingly clear that we need to actively participate in advocating for our careers and our industry. If YPs want there to be an industry to be employed in the future, then we need to be part of the solution. This event is a call to action for those in the early stages of their careers to learn from science communication experts about how to engage with the general public about the importance of our industry. The goal is to affect policymakers, but this must start by getting the general public on our side. This DEVEX YP event will give YPs to learn from science communication experts how to advocate for their own careers. Participants will also learn about effective communication techniques which are also beneficial in every day work environments. This is a free event from 1400-1700 as part of DEVEX 2025. Thereafter, delegates can attend the main Networking Reception and then the Energy on Draft event.

We look forward to welcoming geoscientists, geophysicists, geologists, reservoir engineers, petroleum engineers and all Young Professionals to the 22^nd DEVEX Conference on 20-21 May in Aberdeen!
