MINPET 2009 and 4th Mineral Sciences in the Carpathians Conference September 6, 2009

From mineralogical and petrological points of view the Carpathian–Pannonian Region and the Austrian Alps are among the most interesting and complex areas of Europe.
Recently the systematic research goals and application of modern techniques in mineral sciences resulted in a boom of new scientific information.

The present, joint meeting of two traditional meeting series (the biennial MinPet and triennial MSCC)is intended to provide the broader sense regional mineral scientist community with a forum where new results and invited review papers can be presented.

The other goal of the meeting is to give an insight in the state of the art of mineral sciences in the Alpine–Carpathian–Pannonian (ACP) Region as an important
preparatory step of the IMA2010 conference (Budapest, 21–27 August 2010), the quadrennial world conference organised in and by all the countries in the ACP Region.

SCIENTIFIC PROGRAMME

The scientific programme is planned to cover mineralogy, crystallography, petrology, geochemistry and mineral deposits, as well as their applications,
with special emphasis on the Alpine–Carpathian–Pannonian Region in broad sense.
An Open Session will also be organised for all other related papers. Contributions will be presented in oral and poster sessions.
