E-tech Element Submarine Ferromanganese Crusts Research Workshop

The São Paulo Research Foundation, FAPESP, invites you to the

E-tech Element Submarine Ferromanganese Crusts Research Workshop

The workshop is the kick-off meeting of the project “Marine ferromanganese deposits – a major resource of E-tech elements (MarineE-tech)” funded by Natural Environment Research Council, NERC and FAPESP.

The project will study the deep-ocean environment and the processes that form and accumulate minerals of high technological value. The Brazilian efforts to study this theme will be presented as well as the detailed project framework, aiming to foster the integration between scientists and decision makers.

December 8th, 2015 – 8h30 to 17h00

Auditório FAPESP - SP
