CORE: Connect – Outreach – Rise – Excel
CORE is one-hour of “speed-mentoring,” bringing together young geoscientists, academics, and seasoned experts in one room for a no-holds-barred roundtable discussion. Hosted on the final day of designated SEG Asia Pacific events, CORE offers students and young professionals the opportunity to attend technical sessions and then engage in an energizing, interactive networking format.
