Astromineralogy Workshop III. (2014)
September 29-30, 2014, Budapest
After the successful Astromineralogy Workshop I. and Astromineralogy Workshop II., the Astromineralogy Workshop III. was orgnized at Budapest in the autumn of 2014, at the Research Center for Astronomy and Earth Sciences. The meeting covered the topic from dust in the forming planetary systems, meteorites, next ESA missions and space telescopes to analyse planetary bodies and dust in other planetary systems. The aim of the workshop was partly to identify those fields where laboratory based analysis of cosmic materials has great potential and such work could be connected to Solar System missions in Hungary (as a new ESA member state) and collaborating countries.
Location: Konkoly Thege Miklos Astronomical Institute, H-1121 Budapest, Konkoly Thege Miklós út 15-17.
Local Organizing Committee: Akos Kereszturi, Péter Ábrahám, Attila Demény
Participation is free but indication beforehand by email is welcomed at kereszturi.akos@csfk.mta.hu.
