EGC2 returns in 2027. Here are three ways in which you can get involved at this key forum for energy geoscience:

1️⃣ Submit an abstract
Showcase your work to industry experts and decision-makers, and contribute to technical discussions shaping the future of energy geoscience. Submit your abstract by 8 January 2027 via the conference website: https://www.energygeoscienceconf.org/call-for-abstracts/

2️⃣ Become a sponsor
Establish your organisation’s credentials as a supporter of leading-edge science and knowledge sharing towards a low carbon future. Email [email protected] to find out more.

3️⃣ Register your place
The inaugural conference in 2023 was a sell-out event, with demand for places far exceeding capacity. Don’t miss out on EGC2! Registrations open soon: www.energygeoscienceconf.org.
