Dear School Faculty, Advisor and Administrator,
As part of the 10th International Petroleum Technology Conference (IPTC), a number of Oil and Gas
industry sponsors will be hosting the International Education Summit, which will be held in
Bangkok (Thailand) from November 14 - 16, 2016. The objective for this event is to select delegates
(Students) who are studying in Engineering, Geoscience and Science degree programs from qualified
institutions across the globe. It is anticipated that 100 of the best students will be selected to
participate in this program and will be invited to Bangkok to attend this event. IPTC will cover travel
and accommodation expenses for all selected students.
The purpose of the Education Summit is to give the students a clear insight into the petroleum
industry, to work together on a joint technical project and to provide opportunities for students to
extend their network. During this event, the students will be interacting with a number of major
industry employers who will be offering job opportunities to a selection of students.
Before the event takes place, the Young Members Activities Steering Committee will finalize the list
of selected student based on a number of criteria. Invited students will be asked to research an Energy
related topic, with guidance from a Young Professional Mentor from one of the sponsoring companies.
The students will then work with a number of his/her peers during the Education Summit to develop a
