- XXII International Congress of the Carpathian-Balkan Geological Association
The 22nd Congress of the Carpathian-Balkan Geological Association (CBGA) was held in Plovdiv on September 7-11th (CBGA2022). It was jointly organized by the CBGA Council and the National Organizing Committee (NOC), including the Geological Institute - Bulgarian Academy of Sciences (lead partner), the Agricultural University-Plovdiv (host institution), Faculty of Geology and Geography - Sofia University, University of Mining and Geology, Institute of Mineralogy and Crystallography – BAS, Earth and Man National Museum, the Bulgarian Geological Society, etc.
More than 330 researchers from over 30 countries attended the congress, making the CBGA2022 an important scientific geological forum. Thanks to the sponsors and organizers, NOC supported over 60 participants, among them 16 Ukrainian researchers and 9 students from 5 countries. Roughly 300 abstracts were published in the special volume of Geologica Balcanica, 10 peer-reviewed full papers and scientific communication were published in the official journals of CBGA – Geologica Balcanica and Geologica Carpathica.
CBGA2022 resulted in many fruitful discussions and, we hope triggered many new collaborations.
Thanks are given to all CBGA2022 attendees who enjoyed and shared science together!
