Dear colleagues,
It is our pleasure to circulate the 2nd call for participants to the "Etna International Training School of Geochemistry 2017. Science meets Practice".
The school is addressed to MSc holders, PhD students and postdoctoral researchers, whose main scientific topics concern the geochemistry of volcanoes. Internationally renowned experts will support students in a unique field experience in a spectacular volcanic scenery and will provide them the opportunity to experiment and evaluate new protocols and techniques used on volcanic fluid emissions.
Information concerning the Training School, along with application instructions and selection criteria are detailed below:
Location and Dates
The school will be held at the Osservatorio Vulcanologico Pizzi Deneri (2,850 m a.s.l.) in Mt. Etna (Italy) from 24 to 29 July of 2017.
Program
Classical and innovating direct sampling and remote sensing techniques are going to be presented during the field excursions and lessons that will take place on a daily basis. The detailed program is available on the website https://sites.google.c
Note: The program of the field trips can be modified due to weather conditions or / and volcanic activity.
Participation fee
The cost of the workshop is 300 €, which includes fees, accommodation (5 nights), meals and transportation (Catania - observatory and back; field activities). The participation fee does not cover travel expenses to Catania (Italy).
Note: A grant will be allocated to one student admitted to the “Etna International Training School of Geochemistry, 2017”. The grant will be given by the SoGeI (Società Geochimica Italiana) and only will cover the participation fee.
Selection criteria
The available positions are 16 and are going to be dispensed to applicants of all levels requested above. Major selection factors will include: i) curriculum vitae (scientific publications, participation to scientific congresses, participation to summer schools and/or workshops); ii) motivation and relevance of own work within the area of geochemistry of fluids and volcanic systems; iii) country of provenance.
Application
In order to participate, candidates have to fill out the online application form provided on the website: https://sites.google.
Application deadline: 1 May 2017 at 12:00 am CET
Announcement of results
