EMPOWER A GENERATION – GET RESOURCEFUL Submit a session proposal by May 1, 2017 Grounded in our understanding of the Earth, this first ever IUGS Inter-Congress Conference will bring participants together from industry, government, academia, civil society and the next generation to discuss their initiatives and research related to the key resource issues shaping the future of energy, minerals, and water.
TAKE THE CHALLENGE – CREATE A SESSION The opening #RFG2018 Call for Sessions successfully focused the global community on resources and our collective commitment to a sustainable future. We invite you to join your colleagues by proposing new sessions on the five key themes: • The Earth - processes that have led to and constrain resource availability • Energy - future of energy needs, opportunities, and delivery • Minerals - discovery and clean extraction of mineral resources • Water - source and management of water to meet societal needs • Resources and Society - sustainable development of
resources to provide benefits for all Contribute your vision for the future of geoscience, environmental science and engineering, and sustainable solutions - in the key themes, and especially at the interface between them. We want new innovative sessions that increase the scope of the conference.
