Repsol and Vår Energi awarded a total of nine prizes and NOK 350,000 to bachelor and master students at UiS.
Master student Lisa Egeland Jonassen walked away with two prizes and 100,000 Norwegian kroner in prize money. The award ceremony arranged by the Department of Energy and Petroleum Engineering and the Department of Energy Resources took place before the master ceremony in Stavanger Forum 16th of June.
The awards are given to motivate students to innovate. This is the industry's way of showing that they value those students who go a little further to achieve good results. The award ceremony also gives students the opportunity to meet some of the companies that may become their future employers.
"This is an important milestone, it marks the end of your time as master's students. The award is a reminder that if you work hard and use your talent, you will succeed," Grethe Foldnes from Repsol said.
