"StRATEGy" and the University of Potsdam’s CUAA project (German-Argentine University Network) jointly participated in the XX. National Geological Congress of Argentina. Several participants of "StRATEGy" and CUAA gave scientific presentations during the sessions of the congress. Prof. Strecker was invited for the central keynote lecture on the evening of Aug 7. Also, PhD students of CUAA and StRATEGy presented first results of their projects in the poster sessions.

On August 9, CUAA and StRATEGy jointly held a workshop in order to inform about the current status of the binational German-Argentine research and training initiatives. The workshop helped to update own objectives and goals of the ongoing projects and supported the design of new strategies for future collaborations. The presence of "StRATEGy" and CUAA at the conference was highly appreciated by the Argentine partners, the German Embassy and the Argentine funding agency CONICET. It clearly helped to emphasize the relevance of the already established collaborations and potential future activities.
