SUMMARY:GET 2026 – EAGE Global Energy Transition Conference and Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:GET 2026\, the EAGE Global Energy Transition Conference & Exhibition\, will take place in Hannover\, Germany\, from 2 to 6 November 2026. The event brings together geoscientists\, engineers\, industry leaders and policymakers to explore the role of geoscience and engineering in advancing the energy transition. \nThe conference focuses on key areas including geothermal energy\, carbon capture and storage\, offshore wind energy\, hydrogen and energy storage\, and critical raw materials. It combines high-level technical sessions with a major industry exhibition\, alongside strategic discussions on policy and governance\, making it a key meeting point for professionals working at the intersection of geoscience and the energy transition. \nThe European Federation of Geologists (EFG) is a supporting partner of the event and will be present with a dedicated booth. Members of the EFG network will also benefit from a 15% discount on registration\, with further details to be shared soon.

SUMMARY:Industrial Minerals and Aggregates: The Foundation of Europe's Strategic Autonomy\, Competitiveness and Clean Industrial Future
DESCRIPTION:19 November 2026 | 09:30–14:30 | European Parliament\, Brussels \nIndustrial minerals and aggregates are indispensable to Europe’s economy and strategic ambitions. They provide the essential raw materials for construction\, manufacturing\, advanced technologies\, renewable energy\, agriculture\, healthcare and numerous everyday products and services. Despite their fundamental role\, the industrial minerals and aggregates sector often receives less political attention than metallic critical raw materials\, although it faces many of the same challenges relating to permitting\, land access\, workforce development\, public acceptance\, investment and long-term resource security. \nAs the European Union advances its competitiveness agenda\, Clean Industrial Deal\, Circular Economy objectives and strategic raw materials policy\, there is a timely opportunity to strengthen recognition of industrial minerals and aggregates as an essential pillar of European industrial resilience and strategic autonomy. \nThe event will feature the presentation of the European Industrial Minerals Manifesto\, setting out a shared vision and policy recommendations for a competitive\, sustainable and resilient industrial minerals sector. \nProgramme: \n9:30-10:15 – Opening Session \n\nWelcome by MEP Yannis Maniatis\nKey recommendations from the European Industrial Minerals Manifesto\, David Govoni\, EFG President\, and Maria Tzima\, Association of Greek Geologists (AGG) President\n\n10:15-11:15 – High-Level Policy Session: Industrial Minerals and Aggregates at the Heart of Europe’s Competitiveness \nModerator: Pablo Núñez Fernández\, EFG Board \n\nYannis Maniatis\, MEP\, S&D\nGerardo Herrera\, European Commission\, DG GROW\nPanagiotis Zachariadis\, EFG\nLeah Wilson\, President Industrial Minerals Association Europe (IMA-Europe)\nKonstantinos Laskaridis\, Hellenic Survey of Geology & Mineral Exploration & EuroGeoSurveys\n\n11:15-11:25 – Technical break \n11:25-12:25 – Industry Perspectives: Delivering Sustainable Industrial Minerals and Aggregates for Europe’s Green and Digital Transition \nModerator: Rudi Ruggeri\, CNG \n\nAntonis Antoniou Latouros\, President at Aggregates Europe (AE): Aggregates: Essential Local Resources for Housing\, Infrastructure and Europe’s Green and Digital Transition—Securing Sustainable Supply\, Circularity and Responsible Production\nBrecht De Roo\, Director Sustainability\, HSE and Public Affairs EMEA at CARMEUSE: Decarbonisation pathways and sustainability targets in the lime industry in the context of ETS developments \nJyrki Bergstrom\, IMERYS: Responsible resource management and the importance of reserves and resources classification\nCathy Blervacq\, Vice President Sustainability at SIBELCO: Case studies on renewables\, biodiversity management and circularity\nThomas Richter\, Vice President Global Government and Public Affairs at SOLVAY: Sustainable production and innovation in carbonate-based industrial minerals\nRoger Doome\, Secretary General at European Borates Association (EBA): Securing strategic mineral supply through responsible production and innovation\n\n12:25-12:40 – Conclusion \nPablo Núñez Fernández\, EFG Board \n12:45 – End of the morning session \nNetworking lunch: \nA complementary policy lunch session\, “Industrial Minerals and EU Policy: Navigating the Regulatory Framework for Sustainable Resource Development”\, will take place from 13:00 to 14:30 at the European Parliament. It will provide an opportunity for further discussion on EU legislation affecting mineral exploration\, extraction and permitting\, including water protection and nature restoration. \nConsult the full programme: \nhttps://eurogeologists.eu/go/industrial-minerals-aggregates-event \nRegistration: \nThe event is by invitation only\, and places are limited.

SUMMARY:Annual Scientific Conference with international participation GEOSCIENCES 2026
DESCRIPTION:The GEOSCIENCES 2026 Scientific Conference will take place on 10–11 December 2026 in Sofia\, Bulgaria\, bringing together members of the geological community for two days of scientific exchange and discussion. The conference is organised by the Bulgarian Geological Society together with Sofia University “St. Kliment Ohridski” and several leading Bulgarian geological and academic institutions. \nThis year’s conference is dedicated to the 160th anniversary of the birth of Academician Georgi Bonchev (1866–1955)\, one of the founders of mineralogy and petrography in Bulgaria and the first president of the Bulgarian Geological Society. \nThe scientific programme will cover a broad range of geoscience disciplines\, including mineralogy\, geochemistry and petrology\, regional geology and geophysics\, mineral and energy resources\, environmental geology and natural hazards\, hydrogeology\, geomorphology\, geological heritage and geoarchaeology. \nThe organisers particularly encourage the participation of young researchers\, postgraduate and graduate students\, with awards foreseen for the best presentations by young participants. Conference materials will be published in the Review of the Bulgarian Geological Society. \nKey dates: \nEarly-bird registration deadline: 30 September 2026\nAuthor registration and submission of scientific communications and abstracts: 16 October 2026\nConference: 10–11 December 2026 \nThe official conference languages are Bulgarian and English. \nFurther information is available on the Bulgarian Geological Society website: www.bgd.bg/conferences-geosciences
