Selection process
Ideally, SPE would like to provide this opportunity to all students in the country who are interested in developing themselves and potentially joining the E&P sector in the near future. However in order to deliver high quality, safe and efficient symposium, the event needs to be limited to a certain number of students. The selection of students is conducted through the online application process following the announcement of the symposium on our website and facebook pages. Students from the thrid year and above (including MSc and Phd students) from all technical disciplines are encouraged to apply.
The Section Board takes time to screen all application forms and select the most qualified students based on the answers and credentials provided. The number of students selected to participate in the symposium depends on the activity program during the event, available resources within SPE Azerbaijan Section and the safety management requirements.
