Meeting Assistance Program

The Meeting Assistance Program was established in 2002 to support geochemistry sessions/symposia at any scientific conference of geochemical relevance.

September 2020 Update: The program is not currently accepting new applications.

Inquiries about the program may be directed to map@geochemsoc.org.
