Dear colleagues,

       CERCAMS has been set up as a forum for mineral deposit studies focused on the former Soviet Union, and adjacent territories of Eastern Europe, China and Mongolia, areas where the Natural History Museum has long standing links.

       CERCAMS also hosts the new IUGS-UNESCO-IGCP project #473 "Metallogeny of Central Asia: a GIS based synthesis on a modern geodynamic background" (2002-2006). That project brings together networks of key partners from Russia and Central Asia who will  attend this joint workshop which is co-sponsored by IGCP-373/473, IUGS-UNESCO, and the Royal Society and is organized by the Natural History Museum (NHM).

       The NHM is already a recognised centre for ore deposit studies in Europe (in 2002 it will host the ACCORD Marie Curie Training site for ore deposit studies). CERCAMS will build upon this, hosting training visits and joint projects by experts and postdoctoral researchers from the study areas.

       The launch meeting for CERCAMS will be held on the last Thursday in May (30th) at the NHM in London, and it will finish in time for participants to join the London Mining Industry Sundowner social evening (5:30 p.m., Captains Cabin, Haymarket, Central London).

       An informal workshop about collaborative projects, most of them with CERCAMS participation, will follow on Friday, 31 May.

       Interested parties not yet registered should email Reimar Seltmann rs@nhm.ac.uk in reply to this invitation and confirm participation. To get a badge, please send a copy to Christine Ung chru@nhm.ac.uk . Attendance at the meeting, including a buffet lunch, is free! 

I look forward to meeting you on 30^th May.
