The Metamorphic Studies Group annual Research in Progress (RiP) meeting will be held in Burlington House, London, home of the Geological Society of London (https://www.geolsoc.org.uk/about-us/). The meeting will take place on Wednesday 21st and Thursday 22nd of April, 2027, with the icebreaker on the evening of the 20th April. This is expected to be a hybrid event, so if you can’t attend in person, there will still be opportunity to listen in online. Please add it to your diaries! Registration will open by the end of November.
The meeting will include the AGM and presentation of the Barrow Award, the flagship award given by the MSG to recognize excellence in our field (https://metamorphicstudiesgroup.wordpress.com/barrow-award/). Nominations are currently open, with a deadline of November 31st, 2026. The MSG is looking for late-career scientists this year.
Finally, the MSG offers bursaries to offset the cost of attendance for Masters and PhD students, and PDRAs (<2 years post-PhD), who will join the meeting in person for the first time – please see more information here: https://metamorphicstudiesgroup.wordpress.com/funding/. The deadline for the bursary applications is December 31st, 2026.
