From February 19^th to February 23^rd 2010 a group of German SGA student members organized an international Student Meeting at the Martin-Luther-University Halle-Wittenberg. Students of the University of Prague (Czech Republic) and Germany (LMU Munich, TU Freiberg, MLU Halle) took the chance to meet with the students of Halle University, to get to know each other and possibly to start stronger international relations.

Trip to Moravské naftové doly
In the early spring 2009, on 4-5 March, the Chapter organized an exciting two-day fieldtrip to Moravia to visit the MND (Moravské naftové doly) Group, which represents the largest company specialized in exploration and extraction of crude oil and natural gas in the Czech Republic. We visit an excursion on field 3D seismic measurements (Hustopeče), borehole drilling (Uhřice), laboratory techniqiues (Hodonín) and seismic processing (Brno).
