After months of quarantine, the University of Belgrade, Serbia, celebrated the official launching of the SPE Student Chapter on 18 June.
Jean-Marc Dumas, SPE regional director for Europe and the special guest of the event, congratulated the chapter on its launch and delivered an inspirational speech. Although there were restrictions in the number of students who could attend in person due to the measures invoked by the COVID-19 pandemic, the event was streamed live on the chapter’s social networks for all interested students to take part, and the celebration was a success.
The rector and vice-rector of the university, the dean of the Faculty of Mining and Geology, professors, and several professionals from the industry joined the launch.
The chapter plans to host events and projects in the future benefitting students.
