On May 17, Christine Travers, Dean of IFP School, visited Saudi Arabia as part of a mission organized by IFP Energies nouvelles (IFPEN).
The delegation, chaired by Pierre Franck Chevet, President of IFPEN, and composed of the presidents of the group's subsidiaries and the Dean of IFP School, met with the CEO of Saudi Aramco and the President of King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals (KFUPM), in Dhahran. These exchanges allowed the identification of new possible themes of collaboration, in particular around the energy transition, between the parties and the IFPEN group.
During this visit, Mr. Chevet and Ms. Travers invited young graduates of the School to a cocktail in the lounges of the Meridien Hotel in Al Khobar. During their discussions, the graduates expressed their attachment to the School and their desire to create a local IFP School Alumni Club. This new club would be the 8th in the world.
Around 150 Saudi nationals have been trained by IFP School in partnership with IFP Training as part of off-site programs, joining the large family of 16,000 active alumni in more than 100 countries.
