Travel Support for Invited Goldschmidt Conference Symposia Contributors

几年前，地球化学会理事会构思了发起主要地球化学会联席会议的计划，以促进科学家之间的合作，特别是发展与欧洲科学界的更紧密联系。较长期的目标是每隔一年举行一次由欧洲和美国社团组织的会议。第一次戈德施密特会议由地球化学会于1988年为纪念V.M.戈德施密特诞辰一百周年而组织，与会者的积极反馈鼓励了地球化学会理事会着手组织两年一次的戈德施密特会议。第二次会议将于1990年5月2日至4日在马里兰州的巴尔的摩举行。

Several years ago the council of the Geochemical Society conceived the plan to initiate joint meetings of major geochemical societies to foster cooperation between scientists, in particular to develop stronger ties with the European scientific community. The longer range goal is to hold meetings organized in alternate years by European and the United States- based societies. The very positive feedback from the participants of the first Goldschmidt Conference, which was organized by the Geochemical Society in 1988 to mark the Centennial Year of V.M. Goldschmidt's birth, encouraged the council of the Geochemical Society to proceed with organizing bianial Goldschmidt Conferences. The second conference will be held from May 2 to 4, 1990 in Baltimore, Maryland.
