As I hope you all agree, the Vancouver Goldschmidt meeting was a true success. I would like to take the opportunity here to thank all of you for coming, participating in the meeting and helping making it a success as well as a fun event.
UBC was honoured by the visit of the Crown Prince of Belgium, HRH Prince Philippe. One of the goals was to visit the Pacific Centre for Isotopic and Geochemical Research (PCIGR) at the Department of Earth and Ocean Sciences.
HRH Prince Philippe first met with UBC President Pr. Stephen Toope accompanied by the Ministers de Donnea and Ceysens, the Belgian Ambassador Lint and the Canadian Ambassador Glasgow, G. D’Hoop, Serge Jaumain (VP International, Université Libre de Bruxelles) and Craig Klafter (VP International, UBC).
