Thinking about attending the virtual VMSG 2021 conference (1300 to 1700 hrs GMT/UTC; 6th- 8th January 2021)? Wondering if this is the right event for you?
The Volcanic and Magmatic Studies Group (VMSG) aims to facilitate discussion, in an inclusive environment, amongst researchers with interests in volcanology, igneous petrology, geochemistry and allied fields. We aim to provide a supportive environment where all in the community are welcome and valued, and are keen to promote balance in terms of gender, ethnicity, religion, geographical location, physical ability, sexual orientation, socio-economic background and others. Our interest is in the science, and in your work.
Social Events
- Pre-meeting virtual Yoga session every morning of the conference
- Two virtual social events on the 6th and 7th January: a Quiz and an interactive volcano Movie night.
