Overview timetable of the Conference
Tradition: 50 years of IMA
The International Mineralogical Association (IMA), the oldest international scientific body of mineral sciences, organised its first General Meeting (GM) in 1959. The next meeting of the recently quadrennial world conference series, the twentieth IMA GM, is standing on, and will pay tribute to the solid basis built up by the results of two complete generations of mineral scientists, having met traditionally at IMA GMs.
Geographical bonds and bridges
Though internet demolishes distances, there are still no long term co-operations without personal communication. Researchers of different regions need to meet personally.
The IMA2010 will be a meeting for all continents.
Human generations' bonds and bridges
New paradigms need new generations. New generations need to relate to the past. Generations need to meet personally. At IMA2010 space will be allocated for discussions of small groups. Emphasis will be laid on helping participants with special needs (disabled participant service, child care, rest areas etc.)
The IMA2010 will be a meeting for all generations.
Conference date and venue
August 21 (Saturday) - August 27 (Friday), 2010
The venue of IMA2010, the Danube Riverside Campus (Lágymányos) of the Eötvös University is close to the heart of Budapest. Architectural monuments, museums, shops are easy to reach from here. Budapest, a city of 2 million people along the Danube, offers exciting programmes for visitors. End of August weather is usually mild, pleasant for both field trips and cultural visits. A week in Budapest may give a pleasant tourist experience also to the accompanying guests.
