1. Overview of the event On December, 19th ShaleXenvironmenT consortium hosted a public forum at the Geological Society London, aiming at presenting and discussing the state-of-the art of Shale Gas research in Europe. It involved speakers from Academia, Industry and Government and offered an opportunity for poster presentations, so as to support fact-based and science-backed knowledge-sharing. The event gathered about 60 participants coming from different backgrounds related to shale gas and other unconventional energy resources.
During the forum, 10 presentations have been made, covering various aspects of research related to shale gas. The presentations were followed by a panel discussion in the afternoon, which allowed interesting exchanges amongst the participants.

A poster session was held during the breaks and 7 posters have been presented by young researches. The following topics were covered by the posters:
1. Anisotropic Permeability Behaviour of Clay-Rich Shales. 2. Behaviour and Transport of Fluids in Porous Networks. 3. Microfacies and Micro-textural analysis of the Carboniferous Bowland Shale (UK) from an active
shale-gas prospect. 4. Towards a Salt Resistant Formulation: Rheological Studies and Electrical Responses of
Polysaccharide Dispersions as Gelling Agent in Frac Fluid. 5. Formulations of Hydraulic Fracturing Fluids based on Viscoelastic Surfactants. 6. An implicit control-volume finite element method for well-reservoir modelling using embedded
one-dimensional models. 7. Fluid Transport through nano-pore networks: a stochastic approach. All the posters are reproduced in the annex of this report.

2. Communication and Dissemination In order to reach the highest number of participation, the organizers of the event identified target groups and suitable communication channels to reach them. The target groups are mainly academia and industry whose work is related to shale gas and unconventional energy resources. The event was largely disseminated on shalexenvironment.org, eventbrite.co.uk, UCL social media channels from relevant departments and SXT network. The whole event was recorded and the links to the video were added to the ShaleXenvironmenT website. The videos can be watched on the SXT YouTube Channel: Morning Session Part 1 Morning Session Part 2 Afternoon Session Part 1 Afternoon Session Part 2
3. Impact At this stage, it is too early to measure the impact of the Shaleology forum, but we are very happy with the turnover for this first edition. A lot of Masters and PhD students attended the event, as well as representatives from the industry not related to the ShaleXenvironmenT consortium (Baker Hughes, IGas Energy, Octopus Completions LTD). Taking into account that we had a keynote speaker from the UK Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, we hope to create strong links with the British Government and continue to promote the environmental-friendly research on shale gas.

4. Conclusions and future steps After the success of this first edition of the Shaleology forum, the SXT consortium is already thinking about the organisation of the next similar event. The Shaleology Forum is conceived to become an annual event and to serve as a networking space for researchers and industry representatives. Although the turnover for an event with such a specific topic was fairly good, we believe we can attract even more participants if we organise it in October-November rather than at the end of December.
