The participants may come from any country worldwide, but a few conditions exist to be eligible (see “eligibility” on http://www.eurispet.eu). In addition, selection of participants will consider criteria of gender balance, regional balance, quality of past research, student status (with preference for PhD, post-doc) and knowledge of English.

The Seminar will include a broad range of experimental methods covering the entire pressure-temperature space of our planet and their applications in Earth Sciences including phase transitions and phase equilibria, experimental geochemistry, experimental rock deformation, thermodynamic, kinetic, rheologic and elastic properties of Earth materials (solids, liquids, glasses, fluids) as well as spectroscopic methods. A detailed program will be posted at http://www.eurispet.eu.
