The main initiatives consist in seminars, webinars and collaborations with private companies. Every year the “SEG Student Chapter of Pisa” has hosted one of SEG’s Honorary Lectures since 2016. For example: J. Carcione, L. Sirgue, V. Socco, M. Kemper, M. Landrø, I. Vasconcelos, K. Suto e J.T. Etgen.

In recent years, our association has sought to create a link between students and companies working in the geophysical fields, arranging events and promoting corporate participations. The main Geophysics contractors have been invited to introduce their companies and their activities. During some events, students had also the opportunity to take part in a mock interview.
The valuable collaboration with ENI has promoted many events such as lectures and employees seminars which have shown some case history projects. In 2018 it was possible to visit the “ENI Green Data Center” (Ferrara Erbognone). In 2019, it was possible to host a Presentation Day of Master “Geoscience for Energy” (GEMS) by ENI Master school.
