The venue of the conference was Copperhill Mountain Lodge about 4 km SW of Åre (http://copperhill.se/en/). Åre was the starting point for all participants, both those who attended the conference only and those who participated in the Pre-Conference field trip. Åre is located at the foot of Mt Åreskutan in the Scandinavian Caledonides, a classical place where in 1988 Elis Törnebohm identified a major thrust carrying high-grade metamorphic rocks over fossiliferous sediments.

Sessions

• The Scandinavian Caledonides – the importance of eclogites
• Microstructures and microchemistry of HP-UHP minerals - reaching the nano-scale
• Petrochronology: dating of metamorphic processes
• From cold to hot collision – subduction and continental underthrusting
• Garnet peridotites –messengers from the mantle
• Fluid dynamics: the significance of fluids and melts
• Geochemical dynamics in subduction zones
