It s a unique opportunity to have the students (The future of our Oil and Gas Industry) being so engaged into the topics and unlimited energy to push forward. Guido Van Den Bos Vice President Global Accounts for Rig Systems National Oilwell Varco The East Meets West congress was a unique opportunity for students from Chapters across Europe to come together in an enjoyable and stimulating environment. The event was expertly organized by the Krakow SPE Student Chapter who did an outstanding job in ensuring everything was professionally and seamlessly organized. Students had the chance to present their own work as part of the student paper contest as well as contribute to debates with high profile industry representatives, to discuss the current and future challenges for the industry. There was plenty of opportunity for technical knowledge exchange between the students during the poster sessions, and of course to all get to know each other better and explore the beautiful city of Krakow by partaking in a lively social program. All in all it was an excellent event and students across the regions are strongly encouraged to attend for years to come.
