Two parallel technical sessions were held on June 26-28 with exception of the first day morning. Two pre- and two post-conference field trips to the Blanice and Boskovice Permo-Carboniferous grabens and the Sokolov and North Bohemian Tertiary basins were accomplished.
The conference was attended by 51 Czech geologists and 35 professionals from all continents except Australia. The foreign attendants came from the Federal Republic of Germany, Federal Republic of Russia, Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, India, Peoples Republic of China, Poland, Rumania, Slovenia, Taiwan, Turkey, Ukraine and USA.
Altogether 55 papers and 16 posters were presented at the conference. Some talks as well as geological excursions attracted much attention both the foreign and Czech attendants of the conference.
The whole event has been in general much appreciated by the participants which may be documented by an extract from a letter by Dr. B.
Finkelman, a much prominent coal geochemist from the USA.
