The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) will host its 6th International Seminar at the Hofburg Palace in Vienna, Austria, on 3-4 June 2015. The theme of the event is “Petroleum — An Engine for Global Development”.
The Seminar will examine a range of important energy issues with presentations by Ministers, oil company executives, representatives from international organizations, academic experts and industry analysts.
Topics will include the global energy outlook, market stability, oil investments, technology and the environment, and the state of the world economy.
The 6th OPEC International Seminar will underpin OPEC’s longstanding commitment to strive for a secure and stable international oil market by promoting cooperation and dialogue with stakeholders around the world.
OPEC has held numerous Seminars since 1969, covering various topical themes. But its first high level International Seminar was held in 2001. Since then, the event has grown in size and prominence to become one of the premier gatherings on the world energy calendar.
More detailed event information will be announced in due course.
Nominations for OPEC awards open
The two Awards honour distinguished individuals who have made outstanding contributions to the petroleum industry and oil-related issues, particularly in enhancing cooperation between oil producers and consumers.
The OPEC Award for Research is given to researchers who have shown dedication to research and analysis of important oil related issues, contributed to improving the understanding of the key determinants that support oil market stability, and have exhibited a consistently critical, yet impartial, view on oil-related issues in public debates and discourse.
The successful candidate will also have demonstrated a high level of objectivity, integrity and innovative thinking throughout his/her career and furthered knowledge in the oil industry by encouraging and promoting young researchers within OPEC Member Countries and the developing world.
The OPEC Award for Journalism, which is open to both print and broadcast journalists, is given to an experienced journalist or media organisation that has delivered objective and balanced reporting/analysis of the oil market and related issues for more than 10 years.
Both Awards will be presented by the President of the OPEC Conference on the occasion of the 6th OPEC International Seminar, scheduled to take place at the Hofburg Palace in Vienna, Austria, on June 3 - 4, 2015.
OPEC established the two Awards to acknowledge and celebrate the past efforts of researchers and journalists working in the oil industry, and to encourage future research endeavours and objective reporting.
