About Schlumberger Foundation
Schlumberger was born of an idea—that if an electric field could be generated below ground, voltage measurements at the surface could be mapped to reveal subsurface structure. Following two years of lab and field testing, the first map of equipotential curves was recorded in 1912 using very basic equipment. The result confirmed the method while revealing underground features, such as bed boundaries and the direction of formation layer dips. This was crucial because the technique provided extra information that might be useful for locating subsurface structures forming traps for minerals ... continue reading

You are not eligible to apply if you hold dual citizenship of which one is citizenship of a developed (N.B. If you have been awarded a Faculty for the Future grant and after the award you obtain citizenship of a developed country, the grant will be discontinued as of the date of such additional citizenship);
- are preparing for a PhD degree or post-doctoral research in a STEM discipline. The Faculty for the Future program does not fund Master level studies;
- are enrolled, admitted or have applied to a host university/research institute abroad that is well ranked and recognized for strong research in your field. Applications are not accepted where a candidate has not yet applied to a university. If you are applying for a sandwich course the final degree must be awarded by the Host University abroad or jointly (ie., but not solely from the home country university);
- hold an excellent academic record;
- are willing to go back to your home country or region upon completion of your studies to contribute to its socio-economic development;
- have a proven record of teaching experience in your home country and can demonstrate your commitment to going back home to: i) an academic or research position in a STEM faculty; ii) and/or to using your knowledge to become a STEM entrepreneur to help resolve regional challenges in your local community/region; iii) and/or to demonstrating leadership by contributing to the public sector using your scientific skills to help provide evidence-based support for STEM policy making;
- can demonstrate leadership skills, active community outreach and have a track record in encouraging young people, particularly girls and women into STEM.
