WELCOME TO

The First ASRO Geological Congress – [ASRO – GC 2017]
(El Jadida, Morocco - March 15-17, 2017)


The Academic and Scientific Research Organization (ASRO) aims to promote the scientific thinking in the developing countries and building a new generation of scientists who will lead the scientific activities in these countries using the state-of-the-art technology. Our aim can be achieved by building culture bridges between the developing countries and other nations. The ASRO has different scientific panels, one of them and the most active one is the ASRO-Geological panel. The geological panel will organize the First ASRO-Geological congress that will be hosted in Morocco (2017).

Our aim is to make this congress the biggest geological event in the developing countries which will be held annually in Morocco. Morocco has been chosen for the event since it has the infrastructure that required for such events. The congress audiences will enjoy the weather, manifestations of ancient civilization, the cross-Sahara trip, the cross-Atlas trip and other events that will make the congress more attractive and enjoyable.

The objectives of the ASRO-Geological Congress are as follows:


• Exchange scientific ideas
• Discussion of research results in scientific sessions
• Oil and mining resources and managements
• Water and groundwater resources managements
• Environmental issue related to Earth Sciences
• Preparing the next generation of scientists to be the leaders
• Training the junior scientists of using the state-of-the-art technology in workshops
• Building and discussing future scientific projects
• Highlight the scientific problems that need more attention and further research
• Discussing building new labs and lab collaborations between the developing countries and other nations
• Encourage the collaboration between African and Middle East geological surveys and the researchers in universities
• Provide the opportunity, by way of geological excursions, to examine geological problems and features in the field


The core topics for the Congress are Earth science for Society, Earth science and environmental issues, Fundamental Earth science and Earth science in the Economy. A total of
23 themes
covering all disciplines in the Earth science will form the basis of the technical programme. The Congress Program Committee will take care of preparing the program step by step from launching the first announcement of the congress till getting the feedback from the audiences after the concluding of the congress. All the scientific issues will be discussed by the Congress Program Committee while the technical and the organizing issues will be the responsibility of our organizer and the ASRO-Chair board.
