The Australasian Exploration Geoscience Conference returns in 2027, bringing geoscientists from industry, academia and government together at the Adelaide Convention Centre from 19–24 September. AEGC 2025 attracted more than 800 delegates to Perth for four days of technical sessions, new technology, research, big ideas and the very important geological activity known as networking.
In 2027, it will be Adelaide’s turn—and it is hard to imagine a better conference destination.
The PESA AEGC Student Travel Bursaries have been designed to provide financial assistance to students and early career geoscientists to attend the AEGC by helping to cover travel expenses and conference registration fees. Open to PESA members giving an oral, poster or Geopitch competition presentation, they offer a member per state the chance to attend this conference for a significantly reduced price.
This year, Courtney Berry, a student at Curtin University currently based in Brisbane was one of the lucky winners of the award. Read on to hear more about Courtney’s experience at AEGC.
