The congress will provide a forum for presentation and discussion of the many recent advances and open questi ons, and for stimulation of further productive international collaborations. We were able to attract excellent keynote speakers and we will cover all major branches of mineral-organism interactions. Accordingly, we invite you to submit your cutting-edge scientific contributions. To take advantage of the diversity in innovative contributions we will structure the sessions according to topical keywords that we ask you to provide with your abstracts.

We look forward to seeing you in Munich in the European Union.
