History of Terrae Rarae
The „Tage der Seltenen Erden“ started in Köthen (Anhalt)
in the mid-80s. Originally, the workshop was a pure East German meeting. After
the reunification of Germany the conference got a national character. Nowadays
the workshop is getting more and more international and the number of participants
is increasing steadily. Even though the character of the conference has changed
over the years, we have tried to keep some traditions. Thus, the topics of
the workshop traditionally include all scientific fields of rare earth chemistry,
e.g. solid state compounds, clusters, organometallics, and coordination complexes.
As a result of the annular meeting of researchers from all fields of rare
earth chemistry, it was possible to establish a national program on rare earth
chemistry sponsored by the DFG (Schwerpunktprogramm 1166).
