Dear Colleagues,
the 8th European Conference on Mineralogy and Spectroscopy, ECMS 2015, will take place on September 9-11, 2015 at the "Aula Convegni" of the National Research Council (CNR) in Rome, Italy.
ECMS 2015 will deal with mineralogy, spectroscopy and related fields of science, with a special focus on the interplay between short-range and long-range information to account for crystalline and amorphous materials physical properties.
Information on meeting-related items can be found on the conference website: www.ecms2015.eu
Invited Speakers are:
F.C. Hawthorne (University of Manitoba, Canada),

Regular Registration and abstract deadline: May 31, 2015
We invite you to register and to submit an abstract.
The abstracts will be published on the "ECMS 2015 Proceedings Volume" of the journal Periodico di Mineralogia.
