The 2017 EMU (European Mineralogical Union) school
will be held in Modena (Italy)
in the period 19-23 June 2017
with the title "Mineral fibres: crystal chemistry, chemical-physical properties, biological interaction and toxicity".

The related EMU Notes Volume 17 (2017), edited by Alessandro F. Gualtieri will be also released at the time of the school. The school/volume is part of the EMU Notes in Mineralogy series, which presents in a condensed form an up-to-date, excellent overview of a single topic of interest to the broader geoscience community and related school (see http://eurominunion.org/?page_id=131).

The school will cover different multidisciplinary aspects related to the study of natural fibres and is thus aimed at students with a background in Biology, Chemistry, Geology, Material Science, Medicine, Physics who strive for working in the field of mineral fibre and asbestos and want to acquire both a strong background in this specific area of environmental protection and a multidisciplinary open vision of the asbestos related problems.
