Eni Scholarships
St Antony’s
College, University of Oxford, in partnership with the international
integrated energy company Eni,
is offering up to three students from Angola, Ghana, Mozambique, Nigeria,
or the Republic of the Congo (Congo-Brazzaville) the opportunity to study for
a fully funded degree in 2022/23.
Africa, for
Eni, is the past, the present and the future. Africa is the continent which Eni
has experienced, as pioneer, and the one, which today continues to shape Eni’s
experiences as partner of countries where Eni has established lasting
relationships, understanding and respecting African societies and cultures and
their diversity. A presence in a continent, which supplies more than half of
Eni’s crude oil and natural gas production, a share which is increasing thanks
to the successes of recent prospecting campaigns. In these complex times, the
energy industry is faced with a twin challenge: ensuring that the world’s
growing population, due to increase from 7 to more than 11 billion people by
2100, has access to low cost energy and, at the same time, making sure that
this is achieved in an environmentally sustainable way.
Eni has a
very long tradition of supporting scholarships. The “Scuola Enrico Mattei”
paved the way for post graduate education in Italy and proved to be a pioneer
for managerial studies in Europe. Since 1957 the “Scuola” has granted
scholarships to around 2,600 young graduates from 111 different countries to
attend an oil and energy industry “Master MEDEA” programme, spreading the
Mattei legacy throughout the world. Eni’s training and knowledge management is
promoted and implemented through Eni Corporate University. In order to
reinforce the company’s expertise in its business areas, Eni avails itself of a
long established relational network with the most prestigious national and
international universities. Amongst these esteemed institutions Eni can count
on the collaboration of Oxford University, Massachusetts Institute of
Technology, besides the leading Italian Universities.
