Description
Digital transformation is a technological and societal trend currently reshaping many scientific and industrial fields. In this paper, we address the challenges and opportunities raised by this digital transformation for the specific topic of geoscience education. We discuss the value of new digital tools and methods for teaching geology, and highlight the digital skills the future generation of geologists will grow. We also underline that geoscience training can open exciting career paths for students and professionals from a computer science background. We illustrate these ideas with on-going practical projects at IFP Energies nouvelles, a French public institute for research and innovation in the energy industries, and IFP School, a specialised engineering school delivering several graduate degree programmes in applied geosciences.
