As the Department of Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering at METU, this event— which we are organizing for the second time—, aims to strengthen the sectoral collaboration by bringing together representatives from the oil and natural gas industry, academics, and students, as well as to benefit students.

The event aims to go beyond being just a meeting point and transform into a traditional structure for the upcoming years. Holding this event in Ankara, at the heart of the oil industry, and at METU, as one of the most prestigious universities in our country, is of great academic and sectoral importance.

The main objectives of the event are as follows:

• To develop university-industry collaboration,
• To provide students with a closer understanding of the industry,
• To create a platform for exchanging ideas with leading representatives of the sector,
• To contribute to the department's financial resources through sponsorship revenues.

The event aims to offer participants a rich experience through various presentations, panels, and exhibition areas.
