AGES was established in 2007* and it is a member of Balkan Geophysical Society (BGS) and Associated Society to EAGE and SEG. Members of AGES are active in various committees of these two societies, but also at expert groups of EFG, EnERG, SPE and other associations.
AGES Mission:
Combined approach of Geophysics and Geo- and Environmental Sciences in the society, particularly in domain of: hydrocarbon, mineral resources and geothermal energy exploration, protection of the environment, hydrogeology, civil engineering, mining, cultural heritage and archaeology and spatial planning. Objective is performed through: lectures, courses, Workshops and conferences, but also publishing activities (journals, monographs), exhibitions, etc.;
AGES Goals:
-
Promotion of Geophysics, Geo- and Environmental Sciences in the society;
-
Promotion of Geophysics, Geo- and Environmental Sciences among students and young scientists, as well as their involvement into all AGES activities;
-
Cooperation with national and international institutions directed to Geophysics, Geo- and Environmental Sciences;
-
Cooperation with scientific societies (EAGE, AAPG, EnERG, SEG, SPE, AAPG, EGU, IUGS, IUGG);
