March 11th to March 13th 2026, Bad Windsheim
Save the Date! In spring 2026, the two sections Applied Mineralogy and Crystallography will organise their joint workshop, which will take place from March 11th to March 13th 2026 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 and priority 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 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 15th 2026. 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 together during the workshop will round off the sociable 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
