Shell is a global group of energy and petrochemical companies that aims to meet the world’s growing need for more and cleaner energy solutions in ways that are economically, environmentally and socially responsible.

Shell’s purpose is to power progress together by providing more and cleaner energy solutions. We believe that rising standards of living for a growing global population are likely to continue to drive demand for energy, including oil and gas, for years to come. At the same time, the need to tackle climate change means there is a global transition under way to a low-carbon energy system.

The Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC) at The University of Texas at Austin designs and operates some of the world’s most powerful computing resources. The center’s mission is to enable discoveries that advance science and society through the application of advanced computing technologies. TACC’s environment includes a comprehensive cyberinfrastructure ecosystem of leading-edge resources in high performance computing (HPC), visualization, data analysis, storage, archive, cloud, data-driven computing, connectivity, tools, APIs, algorithms, consulting, and software. In addition, our skilled experts work with thousands of researchers on more than 3,000 projects each year.

The Ken Kennedy Institute, established in 1987, is dedicated to solving critical global challenges with collaborative approaches that focus on innovations in artificial intelligence, data, and computing. The Ken Kennedy Institute is the virtual home of over two hundred faculty members and senior researchers at Rice University spanning computer science, mathematics, statistics, engineering, natural sciences, humanities, social sciences, business, architecture, and music. We develop academic, industry, and community partnerships in the computational sciences. We are continually seeking out new opportunities for collaboration and research, email us today to learn more at kenkennedy@rice.edu.

The Hewlett Packard Enterprise Data Science Institute was launched in 2017 to support and strengthen the university’s research and academic interests in data science. The institute puts UH researchers in front of important global challenges by actively promoting community, industry, and institutional partnerships

The work of the Hewlett Packard Enterprise Data Science Institute spans four areas of research: cyber and physical security, drug development and discovery, sustainable communities and infrastructure and accessible and personalized health care. Furthermore HPE DSI leads the University’s educational focus which involves both non-degree certificate programs aimed at training the current and future workforce. Lastly, HPE DSI offers resources and services to other researchers / startup companies across diverse disciplines in physical sciences, as well as humanities and social sciences.

The objectives of the Association are to promote the development and application of geosciences and related engineering subjects, to promote innovation and technical progress and to foster the communication, fellowship and cooperation between those working in, studying or otherwise being interested in these fields.

EAGE was founded in 1951 when much of the formality of an earlier era still persisted. But, from the beginning, the Association managed to stay true to its motto ‘Quaere et Invenies’, Seek and ye shall find. EAGE and its successors reached out first to geophysicists, but then as the nature of the petroleum industry changed, it broadened its platform. There were watersheds in 1989 and again in 1995 over the EAEG, EAPG and establishment of the EAGE we know today.
