It is also an excellent opportunity for networking to expand international collaboration. The conference venue is rotating between Košice region - Herľany, Bratislava region and southern Poland region. In 2018 the conference is hosted at the Herľany Geyser Venue near Košice, Slovakia. The place is located about 27 km from Košice.
We sincerely invite you to submit abstracts concerning a variety of subjects in Geology and Earth Sciences: from petrology, paleontology, geophysics, hydrogeology, geoinformatics or geoengineering to environmental sciences. All abstracts are reviewed and will be published in the journal of Slovak Geological Society - Mente et Malleo.
The conference consists of two days of oral presentations, and a field trip. A conference fee is 115 € and includes accommodation and meals from Thursday to Saturday. Registration fee should be paid by 28.02.2018. Early birds accommodation from Wednesday to Thursday (as well as the night from Saturday to Sunday) are available at additional low cost.
