International Conference
DEVELOPMENT AND PROSPECTS
OF PROFESSIONAL GEOLOGY IN THE WORLD
A NEW RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN GEOLOGY AND SOCIETY
Florence, Fortezza da Basso, 26-27 August, 2004
 
The Conference will take stock of the evolution of professional geology in the past fifty years,
in response to the challenges posed by deep and fast socioeconomic changes.
The Conference will revolve around the following main topics:

- updating of scientific knowledge
- technological development
- awareness of the public and of law-makers

Insights into these topics will help to define the new profiles of professional geologists,
who are expected to support more believable models of socioeconomic development
and thus to combine basic consulting services with decision-making
 and operation/management activities.

In line with the above objectives, the Conference will consist of three Sessions:

- FIRST SESSION
Status and evolution of scientific knowledge in the field of geology;
- SECOND SESSION
Status and evolution of legislation on the geological profession;
- THIRD SESSION
Status and evolution of geological applications.

The results of the Conference are hoped to contribute to projects of geological
development based on intensification of scientific research, expansion of
technical and technological applications and connection with economic and social sciences.
