Following the successful Basalt 2013 meeting held in Görlitz, the Basalt 2017 conference focused on extensive Cenozoic magmatism across Europe from a multi-faceted perspective of all relevant disciplines of geosciences, including physical volcanology, mineralogy, petrology, geochemistry, geophysics and geohazards, with the aim to present new discoveries and developments in the understanding of this important period of geologic history of Europe.

The meeting was organised by the Czech Geological Society.
