In addition, EAG will hold its traditional Cocktail Party / General Assembly on Tuesday 10 June at 18:30 in Lecture Room D, open to all delegates. It is an opportunity to find out more about EAG’s activities and initiatives while enjoying a drink.
The Goldschmidt Conference will feature a two-day union session entitled “Elements: 10 Years Old” on Monday and Tuesday, June 9 and 10. This session will cover the three fields reflected by the magazine over its 10 years of activity: geochemistry, mineralogy, and petrology and will also include contributions dedicated to societal/cultural aspects. The talks will illustrate the great diversity of topics treated over the years and will emphasize major progress made since the publication of some of the early themes. This will be done in the philosophy of the magazine, that is, by combining cutting-edge research with accessibility to a non-specialist audience. This session will also be a unique occasion for delegates to discuss expectations concerning the magazine with the editorial team. The talks (19 of which are keynote lectures) will all be 30 minutes long. Check the exciting line-up.
