The Heritage Stone Task Group in southern Europe is a Task Group within the IUGS. In March, HSTG had a proposal accepted as Project 637 of the International Geoscience Programme (IGCP 637). With this acceptance, IGCP 637 offered $US6,000 in 2015 to support conference participation.
HSTG has decided that this funding should be used in 2015 to support attendance to our session in the GSA Baltimore conference. Amounts not exceeding $US2000 will likely be available. We have been asked by the IGCP Secretariat to give preference to supporting scientists from developing countries or who are young or women scientists. Recipients will also be expected to make a conference presentation in our session, related to natural stones, architectonic heritage and related issues.
Early Career researchers who are interested should send a message showing interest and a short cv, with a potential title for the contribution in the HSTG session, to the HSTG secretary general Barry Cooper: Barry.Cooper@unisa.edu.au
Applicatons will be received up to 30 June 2015.
Please contact Dr Lola Pereira for further information (mdp@usal.es)
