SGA - Student Chapter Prague

🌍 SGA - Student Chapter Prague, together with the Faculty of Science, Charles University, co-organised the XXV ICYG - International Conference of Young Geologists, held on 14–17 May 2026 in Kostelec nad Černými lesy, Czech Republic.

This was not only the 25th anniversary edition of this long-standing international meeting and the first ICYG ever organised in the Czech Republic, but also the largest event organised by SGA - Student Chapter Prague in the history of our chapter.

In cooperation with partner institutions from Slovakia and Poland, the conference brought together 102 participants from 14 countries, with 50 oral presentations and 29 poster presentations covering a broad spectrum of geoscience topics.

We are especially grateful for the support of SGA, which contributed to the conference through:
• the SGA Keynote Speaker Program, thanks to which we welcomed Prof. Simon M. Jowitt
• travel grants for six selected SGA members presenting topics related to economic geology and mineral deposits
• Springer books in economic geology awarded as prizes for the best student presentations

The programme also included a dedicated SGA Mineral Deposits session, a presentation on SGA opportunities for students, and an SGA members meeting focused on future cooperation among Student Chapters, broader international collaboration, and the possible establishment of new chapters.

For our chapter, ICYG 2026 was a major organisational and scientific experience, and we are very grateful to everyone who helped make it possible, including participants, speakers, organisers, partners, and supporters.

🧠⚒️🪨 Vážení členové,

zveme Vás na tradiční podzimní schůzi SGA Student Chapter Prague. Sejdeme se v úterý 18. 11. 2025 od 18:00 v učebně M (Mineralogická posluchárna, Albertov 6). Kromě prezentace letošních aktivit spolku bude důležitým bodem schůze výběr nového správce webových stránek. Prozatím se prosím zamyslete, kdo by tuto pozici mohl zastávat. Zároveň prosím všichni popřemýšlejte, jaké činnosti byste od spolku v příštím roce očekávali, kam byste se s SGA rádi podívali a s jakými zahraničními SGA Chapters byste rádi navázali spolupráci. Vaše impulzy a nápady jsou pro chod spolku klíčové! Všechny návrhy probereme a některé se jistě zrealizují!

Následně se přesuneme do restaurace U Tří Bojovníků, kde bude pokračovat neformální diskuze 🍻.
