Dear all,

On behalf of the Organizing Committee, we are pleased to announce the joint conference of the Czech and German Geological Societies "GEOPilsen 2013 - Crustal Evolution and Geodynamic Processes in Central Europe" to be held in Plzeň (Pilsen/Czech Republic) on September 16-19, 2013.

An official conference website with online registration and abstract submission will be launched at www.geopilsen2013.com in mid-January 2013.
