Providing analytical data for archaeology, art, and conservation is an application-oriented field for mineralogists. Mineralogy lies in a special position between Earth sciences and materials science; therefore it involves a profound perception of the complexity of natural materials. Possessing the knowledge of the geological and physico-chemical processes acting on both the natural materials, and the man-made artifacts, the mineralogists commonly master most of the methods and techniques required to investigate our cultural heritage. However, mineralogical expertise is far beyond the sole gathering of analytical information, encompassing: development of analytical techniques, elemental and phase analysis, microstructure analysis, reconstruction of ancient technological processes, tracing of the material sources, understanding of soil-deposition and weathering processes, and defining conservation strategies. The session aims to present the full spectrum of mineralogical activities in the field.

Food for good

food for good

As of 2015, Palacongressi di Rimini offers its clients the opportunity to recover leftover food from their events and donate it to charities . Palacongressi endorses Food For Good - from meeting to solidarity, an initiative born out of a collaboration between Federcongressi, Food Bank and Equoevento. Every year in Italy, over 6 tons of food go to waste; at the same time, there are 10 million people living in poverty, 6.3 of which in conditions of absolute poverty, including 1 million children between the ages of 0-5 years. The contribution of organisers and exhibitors at the Palacongressi is therefore of major importance: with no additional costs and in agreement with Summertrade chefs, the catering company of the Rimini Fiera Group and official partner of the Palacongressi, menus are planned which are suitable both for the guests' needs and for the conservation and transport of any leftovers, resulting in a worthy act of social responsibility for the local area. The results and the feedback we have had in the first months of the project speak for themselves. Contact our staff for more information: always ready to help guide your choice.  The association chosen by Palacongressi is Opera Sant'Antonio di Rimini, a group of volunteers that manages the city's soup kitchen.
