Sektion Angewandte Mineralogie, Sektion Kristallographie

March 26th to March 28th 2025, Bad Windsheim

Save the Date! In spring 2025, the two sections "Applied Mineralogy" and "Crystallography" will organise their joint workshop, which will take place from March 26th to March 28th 2025 in Bad Windsheim between Nuremberg and Würzburg.

“Applied Mineralogy" and "Crystallography" cover a broad spectrum of innovative issues. We hereby call for contributions from participants in the form of presentations. The active participation of young scientists is expressly desired. Current scientific developments within the framework of our sections should be presented through contributions from ongoing or recently completed projects, as well as bachelor's, master's and doctoral theses. The workshop which will be held in English for the first time, should be seen as a platform where ideas and work that are not yet fully developed can also be presented.

We ask for registrations of contributions from all areas of applied mineralogy and crystallography by e-mail by January 10th 2025. The presentation time for normal contributions should not exceed 20 minutes including discussion. Short contributions are also welcome, which can pose pointed questions/problems from current work to the auditorium in a question and answer session. Participation in the workshop is also possible without registering a contribution.
Coffee breaks and meals during the workshop will allow social exchange on current developments. The workshop will be as informal as possible, leaving plenty of time for discussion.

We look forward to a lively participation and a successful workshop
