‎‏Both students, Israa Al-Akour and Zainab Mustafa, from the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences at the Faculty of Science, Yarmouk University, participated in the “Middle East Oil, Gas, and Geosciences Conference and Exhibition (MEOS GEO 2025)” hosted by the Kingdom of Bahrain.

‎‏The students, Al-Akour and Mustafa, expressed their delight in representing Yarmouk University and the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences as part of the “Youth, Professionals, and Students” program held alongside the conference, where they participated in technical workshops and lectures addressing energy challenges and sustainable solutions.

‎‏The two students also presented innovative proposals for recycling waste and converting it into energy sources, in addition to participating in the “Poster Showcase,” which brought together students and professionals from various countries.

‎‏The two students also participated in field visits to the ASRY offshore drilling facility to gain firsthand knowledge of drilling operations and marine infrastructure, in addition to visiting the Bahrain National Museum to learn about the cultural and historical heritage of the Kingdom of Bahrain.
