The GMDM will again take place in Münster on Thursday 29 and Friday 30 November 2018. Organised by Christine Putnis (Institut für Mineralogie, Münster) and Encarni Ruiz-Agudo (University of Granada, Granada, Spain) the GMDM has been held alternately in Granada and Münster since 2013. The meeting is organised to discuss current research on reactions at the mineral-fluid interface and welcomes contributions from researchers in this broad field.

The meeting will be held in the Festsaal, Schlossplatz 5.

For further information regarding the meeting and for registration and abstract submission (free of charge) please contact Christine Putnis: putnisc@uni-muenster.de
