The congress has been designed to set up a forum for a broad debate of the most significant advances in the geological sciences, as well as to promote discussion of the congress theme: 'from the Mediterranean area toward a global geological renaissance - geology, natural hazards, and cultural heritage.'
Among the subjects covered are geological hazards, geo-resources and cultural heritage, the relationship between fundamental and applied geosciences, understanding the earth, promoting international scientific cooperation and the role of geology in solving environmental problems.
