ATTENTION ORE DEPOSIT STUDENTS!!

Because the future of Economic Geology depends on the involvement of graduate students and young researchers, we warmly invite and encourage students within the broad area of ore deposits research to submit abstracts and present their work at this highly visible international conference. The 11th SGA Biennial Meeting is a great opportunity for students to interact with leadings scientists and other students in a relaxed and informal environment.

Attractive benefits are being offered to students to encourage their participation in SGA2011. Student benefits include:

REDUCED REGISTRATION FEES

All students are entitled to a reduced registration fee. SGA students are offered by the lowest registration fee.

STUDENT GRANTS

A limited number of student grants will be available to support participation of preferably SGA student members in the conference. Only students who are senior authors of accepted abstracts may be elegible fro these grants.

An application form for student financial support will be available on the conference website.

Student grants will be awarded upon the acceptance of an abstract for oral or poster presentation at the conference, and will be based on the financial need and scientific relevance of the submitted contribution.
