UniLaSalle’s first participation, first victory!
The Geosquad team, led by Emeline Di Pasquale, Maïtena Daguerre, Quentin Garcin, Lubin Daumard, and Thibault Drulhe all in 5th year Geology and Environment at UniLaSalle Beauvais, won the Minus CO grand final2 Challenge organized by the European Association of Geoscientists and Engineers (EAGE).
The competition, which aims to develop strategies for reducing carbon dioxide emissions into the atmosphere, is a real technical and scientific challenge. Teams must work on complex datasets to propose concrete solutions. This year, our students took up the challenge by developing an innovative strategy based on a dataset from the Netherlands for a deep geothermal theme.
Their journey took them to the final, where they faced 25 teams from around the world. Thanks to their rigor and creativity, the Geosquad team won this prestigious competition, illustrating the excellence of the Geology training provided at UniLaSalle Beauvais.
Next meeting: the Global Energy Transition!
This victory allows them to participate in the EAGE Global Energy Transition (GET), which will be held in Rotterdam on November 5. They will have the opportunity to present their work in front of more than 1,500 professionals from the geothermal and energy transition sector. This is a unique opportunity for our students to show all their expertise to an international audience.
Educational support key factor of success
This success is also the result of quality educational support. Many thanks to Laurent Fontanelliteacher-researcher at UniLaSalle Beauvais, who worked for three months alongside the team to guide them throughout this adventure. His expertise and commitment played a key role in this success.
These collective efforts have demonstrated the excellence of teaching at UniLaSalle Beauvais, which prepares its students to meet the major challenges of tomorrow.
