Dear SPE member, 
we are renewing the Section Board and below you find the link to view the detail of the proposed composition and to vote.
There is time until July 18th at 5pm.

Registration for the Paris event is now open!

A journey is best measured in friends, rather than miles!

We want to shorten miles and increase SPE-friends all over the world and for this… we need you!!!

After the success of the first edition, we hereby invite you to the Second Edition of the Beyond The Borders program, which will have its first Event hosted by SPE France Section in Paris from Thursday 6th to Saturday 8th June 2019, themed ‘Wellhead to downstream’. As usual, there will be interesting forums, conferences, business visits and cultural visits, all mixed with a lot of fun and opportunities to meet international peers and make new friends!

Travel costs are self-funded by each participant, while accommodation (+breakfast) and at least one meal per day are in charge of local section. Two Young Professionals will be selected from the Italian Section to participate at the event depending mostly on their motivation: register (https://forms.gle/LnGRpAMW5dZhNBNp7) by the 10th of May to the event to be our ambassador at the Paris event!

But that is not all we have got in our basket! As you might be aware of, SPE YP borders are broadening and, as of today, the Beyond The Borders program has seen the inclusion of many Sections from all around Europe: Bergen, Portugal, Vienna Basin and Germany, which add to the already existing cooperation between Italy, France and Romania.
