This conference will present the latest findings on the tectonics, minerals resources, and regolith of the West African Craton and the wider West African Region. The outcomes of this event will underpin discussions about future collaborative research programs in the region.
Conference Type: Face to face. The language of the event is French and English
Who should attend
This conference offers companies, geological surveys, development agencies, and researchers the opportunity to define key future research and training activities that will ultimately provide not only new geological information but also a new geological framework and exploration insights. This conference is also an opportunity to meet like-minded people from various countries who share the same interests.
Research themes
Archean and Proterozoic tectonics and resource potential.
Proterozoic to Tertiary basin evolution and resource potential.
Regolith and landform evolution.
