The ENGIE Magazine is an electronic newspaper communicating on the importance of geoscience for society and aiming to promote the variety of geoscience-related career opportunities.

The ENGIE project organised and implemented side events to the European Researchers’ Night 2020 in 19 countries all across Europe. The themes were dedicated exclusively to geosciences and geo-engineering. The main aim of these events was to raise awareness and curiosity of young people, and especially girls, for geosciences.

The RockCheck app (original version KamenCheck in Slovenian language) is a digital educational tool that allows you to strengthen the awareness and increase the knowledge about rocks and geology in general.

Are you a teenage student from 12 to 19 years old? Do you think Science is cool and would like to become a scientist? Or else, do you think Science is really boring and has nothing to do you with your life? You must know this: in both cases, Italian researchers are working for you, either in sustaining you in your will to become one of them or to help you understand that Science is useful and, why not?, even fun!

Are you a woman working in geosciences or geo-engineering?
Tell us about your daily work, your current research and why you would encourage girls to become geoscientists or geo-engineers!
