The Laurie Dake Challenge is a student competition created to promote cross-disciplinary geoscience and engineering integration within universities.

The competition starts with an assignment that must be prepared by each of the 18 selected teams. After this first round 10 teams will be chosen to submit a Field plan, and the jury will select the best 6 proposals.

The challenge assignment was provided by Total Energies.
