STM publisher Elsevier, Netherlands, has announced that, together with the Geological Society of London, it has won the award for best Education/Industry Partnership at the 2012 Getenergy awards ceremony.
Celebrating excellence in education and training in the upstream oil and gas industry, the Getenergy awards help to validate the significance and sustainable quality of work that benefits the wider oil and gas energy industry. The Education / Industry Partnership award, determined by over 11,000 individual votes on Getenergy’s website, recognises the success of Elsevier and the Geological Society of London’s collaboration in developing a new module for Elsevier’s Geofacets research tool.
The module adds over 48,000 maps (70 percent of which are available for download as.geotiffs) sourced from 11 journals from the Geological Society of London’s Lyell Collection.
The Getenergy Award ceremony was held on the evening of June 13 at One Whitehall Place in London, UK. Entries were voted for from a shortlist, with over 11,000 individuals taking part in voting.
The Getenergy Awards recognise excellence in learning, education and training for the global oil and gas industry. The awards are part of the annual Getenergy exhibition and workshops which bring together providers of education and training together with national and international oil, gas and services companies from 40 countries. Award recipients are nominated by peers before formally being selected by an Awards panel. The final stage is an industry-wide vote which attracts more than 10,000 votes each year.
