European Mineralogical Union

The European Mineralogical Union (EMU) is an organization dedicated to advancing the study of mineralogy, the science of minerals and their properties. Founded in 2002, it aims to promote research, education, and collaboration among scientists and professionals in the field across Europe. The EMU organizes conferences, publishes scientific literature, and supports initiatives to enhance knowledge and awareness of mineralogical sciences. Its work contributes to understanding both natural and synthetic minerals, which is vital for various applications, including geology, material science, and environmental studies.
