Welcome Note
In 2024 the International Committee for Coal and Organic Petrology held its 75th Meeting in Oviedo (https://gecarbon.org/75-iccp-meeting/). This ha been an extraordinary opportunity to meet and celebrate and to think on the challenges of Organic Petrology in the forthcoming years (Program of the Meeting). Spain has hosted the ICCP meetings seven times. The first three in the 60s were held in Madrid and the next four in Oviedo. The city has dressed in its best clothes right after the patronal feast of St Matthew finishing the 21st of September. An additional attraction is that Oviedo was elected as Spanish Capital of Gastronomy for 2024. Therefore, during the meeting, participants had the chance to taste many of the delicacies that have made Oviedo deserving this honour. The COP28 has finally found an agreement on the “transition away from fossil fuels” and therefore, the Meeting has been a good opportunity to reflect on the Theme:
Organic Petrology Research and Applications for the 21st Century · Abstracts
A Special Volume of the International Journal of Coal Geology is under preparation with selected papers of the Meeting. The deadline for abstract submission is the 31st of January 2025.
The Meeting has been organized by the Instituto de Ciencia y Tecnología del Carbono (INCAR-CSIC) together with the Institutional Delegation of CSIC in Asturias and took place downtown in the building of the Chamber of Commerce of Oviedo which is also the venue of the CSIC Institutional Delegation in Asturias. We had the opportunity to visit the pre-Romanesque (IX Century) Monuments in Mount Naranco designated as UNESCO Heritage Sites and a field trip to see some of the Formations responsible for the relief of the Cantabrian Mountains, which are also rich in organic matter.

It was a unique forum to interact in a week-long meeting to discuss and exchange ideas, and thus contributing to the future of Organic Petrology.
