Young Geoscientist Program for Graduates
Our Young Geoscientist Program is entering its second year and we’re looking forward to working with this year’s
new graduates. The Program is available to all new graduates from departments participating in our Academic
Software Initiative. Under the program we provide free use of all of our Move software for 12 months. Licences run for
12 months from activation and are installed on the graduate’s PC (which is not provided by a commercial company).
When we introduced the Program our Founding Director Dr Alan Gibbs said “Getting that first step up on the career
ladder is always difficult and everyone needs a bit of help. We hope this will enable new graduates to continue
to develop their expertise and prepare for interview. It will enable them to complete presentations and publicationmaterials based on their academic work”.
To join our Young Geoscientist Program email a copy of your graduation certificate with your full contact details toacademic@mve.com.
