“THE CONTRIBUTION OF THE GEOOLOGY TO ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OF PERU “

Guido Del Castillo, President of the Organizing Committee of the XVIII Peruvian Geological Congress is pleased to issue an invitation to this event which will be held in Lima from 16 to 19 October 2016 on the campus of the Pontifical Catholic University of Peru.  I extend the invitation to professionals, scientists and students of Earth Sciences, related sciences and interested public to actively participate in this scientific conference.

The theme chosen is “the Contribution of Geology to the economic development of Peru.” Several presidents of mining companies will explain how they have developed their projects with the help of geology.

The program includes the Andean and Regional Geology, Economic Geology and Mineral Resources, Energy Resources, Geosciences and Paleontology / Biostratigraphy.  As in the past, domestic and foreign consultants will participate with keynotes lectures related to technological advances and new discoveries.

The Geological Congress is a unique opportunity to bring together those interested in the geological sciences and is therefore the opportunity to offer pre and post courses and field trips with topics oriented to technological development, new trends and modern concepts in the exploration of natural resources, developments in research and others related to external geodynamic processes and society.  The technological exhibition will bring together industry and the service sector, companies with operations and projects, private and state institutions, among them universities, with their programs, projects and relationships with civil society.
