In spring 2022, the two DMG sections “Applied Mineralogy” and “Crystallography” will once again host their joint workshop. As an in-person meeting is unfortunately still not possible, we would at least like to come together online for scientific exchange.

When: March 3–4, 2022
Where: Access details will be provided in advance.

The sections “Applied Mineralogy” and “Crystallography” cover a broad range of innovative research topics. We hereby invite participants to submit contributions in the form of presentations. Active participation, particularly by early-career researchers, is strongly encouraged. Current scientific developments within 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 is intended as a platform where even preliminary ideas and work in progress can be presented.

We kindly ask for submission of contributions from all areas of applied mineralogy and crystallography by February 20, 2022, via email to Uta Helbig (uta.helbig@th-nuernberg.de).

The duration of standard presentations should not exceed 20 minutes, including discussion. Short contributions are also welcome, allowing participants to present specific questions or challenges from ongoing work in a focused discussion format. Participation in the workshop is free of charge and also possible without submitting a contribution.

When submitting a contribution, please include the title, authors, and a brief summary of the study (approx. 5 lines). Although the workshop will be held online, we will again provide sufficient time and (virtual) space for discussion and informal exchange.

We look forward to lively participation and a successful workshop.
