LECTURES OF THE ASSOCIATION

 

The Association regularly organises conferences and lectures, partly for its members, partly for the greater audience of the Earth scientists, even for the laic people. The list of coming events can be seen from the left menu. While the bulk of the events are in Hungarian, some are in English.

 

EARTH SCIENCES, CONCERTED

(SYNERGIES IN THE EARTH SCIENCES)

 

This sequence of the lectures has a decade-old history, starting from the events of the triennium of the Global Earth. These years we organised the series in different titles, recently this title above want to express a general subject: the bordering themes among (or between) the Earth sciences. Each lecture day (an afternoon at the main hall of the Hungarian Geological and Geophysical Institute) consists of several lectures, and is jointly organised by two Earth-science-related scientific civil organisations of Hungary. As for an umbrella organ, years ago the FöCIK was established. This is a commonwealth of the Earth-science societies/associations to promote not only their expertise but to promote the effect of the Earth sciences on the society - both on the laic society and on the governmental-related organisations as well. 

Just now, 2015-2016 activity is listed as follows. These events were managed mainly by Mr. Géza Rezessy, and were supported basically by the MFGI - Hungarian Geological and Geophysical Institute, as well as by the EAGE - European Association of Geoscientists and Engineers.
