European Current Research on Fluid Inclusions (ECROFI-XIX)University of Bern, Switzerland, 17–20 July, 2007. <strong>Abstract</strong> <strong>Volume</strong>, p. 2SCOPE AND HISTORY OF ECROFIScope of ECROFIThe series of biennial conferences on European Current Research on Fluid Inclusions(ECROFI)attracts a wide range of Earth scientists investigating the roles of fluids and magmas within the Earth andplanetary bodies. Primarily, the meetings keep the scientific community up to date on new developments inanalysis and interpretation of fluid and melt inclusions, and on how the information gleaned from inclusionshelps to answer wider questions in the earth sciences. In addition, ECROFI provides a congenial setting forgraduate students and young investigators to present their research to a broad audience, to consult withexperts relevant to their research projects, and to contact potential employers in person.ECROFI participants belong to universities, government research institutions or commercial companies,including those involved in petroleum exploration, ore exploration and deep-geological disposal of wastes.Most participants come from Western and Eastern Europe, but many scientists from the Americas, Africa, Asiaand Australasia also regularly attend the meetings. ECROFI-XIX at the University of Bern, for example, bringstogether approximately 140 participants from 28 countries. Thus, although the “E” in “ECROFI” stands forEurope, the meetings are truly intercontinental. Accordingly, the official conference language is English.The current meeting, ECROFI-XIX, hosts 130 scientific communications (74 posters and 56 oralpresentations, including 7 keynote lectures) on the following topics: advances in analytical techniques;thermodynamic and experimental models of fluid properties, systematics of inclusion behaviour, advances inanalytical techniques, diagenetic and petroleum fluids, geothermal systems, deep crustal and mantle fluids,ore deposits, melt inclusions and igneous processes, the role of fluids in tectonics, and some novel applicationsof fluid inclusions. The meeting is preceded by workshops on selected analytical methods and by a field tripto the Bernese Alps, it includes a mid-conference petrography workshop, and it is followed by a field trip tomineral deposits in the Western Italian Alps.History of ECROFIThe first meeting of what was later dubbed “ECROFI” was held in 1969 at the Natural History Museumof Bern, organized by H. A. Stalder (Bern) and G. Deicha (Paris). Forty-nine scientists took part in thatmeeting, among them such well known names as R. Clocchiatti, E.J. Gübelin, B. Poty, E. Roedder and J.-C.Touray. The success of this first ECROFI meeting, and the rapidly growing international interest in fluidinclusion studies at the beginning of the 1970s, spurred a series of similar meetings in various parts ofEurope.By the time Utrecht hosted a meeting in 1981, a certain tradition was recognized by the European fluidinclusion community. The organizers at Utrecht, H. Swanenberg, R. Kreulen and J. Touret, named theirconference “ECRFI-VI” (later written ECROFI), and they retrospectively identified five previous meetings asits forerunners in a series. Thus, Bern, 1969 (ECROFI-I) and Milano, 1973 (ECROFI-II) formed the early lineof descent. Apparently the assignment of the next two meetings in the series was not clearly announced atUtrecht, and so the identities of ECROFI-III and IV are now something of a mystery. The meeting at Durhamin 1976 was certainly one of them, but according to A. Stalder, J. Touret and E. Horn, all of whom attendedthe Utrecht meeting, two conferences in France come into question for the missing title: either Paris in 1975or Nancy in 1978. Our collective memory is clear thereafter and the meeting at Karlsruhe in 1979 is agreedto have been ECROFI-V.From ECROFI-V onwards, the meetings have been held biennially at different venues. The chronologicallist below was compiled by H. A. Stalder and L. W. Diamond.2
