The motto of the congress is "Geology Without Borders" and it is intended to be a wish for the exchange of knowledge between researchers at an international level, to promote and strengthen Earth Sciences as an increasingly necessary field and a future-oriented discipline.

Earth sciences should be understood not only as necessary for a better understanding of the interior of planet Earth, but also as a way to protect our society from dangerous geological events, for understanding climate change, for planning and use of georesources with an ethical approach in respect and protection of the environment.
