Past Activities:

Prepatory meetings 2004 and 2006

Until now Network had two unofficial preparatory meetings during the V.M. Goldschmidts Conference in Copenhagen, June 2004, and the Nordic Geological Winter Meeting in Oulu, January 2006. Meetings included members of the network participating in conferences, and served for exchange of ideas on common actions.
