The IICAHGEO Meeting was held in the Departamento de Ciencias Geológicas, Facultad de Ciencias Exactas y Naturales, Universidad de Buenos Aires. Following a welcome from the Dean of the FCEN-UBA, Professor Dr. Jorge Aliaga, the President of the Executive Committiee of the International Union of Geological Sciences, Professor Dr. Alberto C. Riccardi, and Eduardo G. Ottone for the Organizer Comitee, opened the meeting. Most participants came from Argentina, with the exception of R. Charrier and F. Hervé from Santiago de Chile. A booklet was published during the meeting including the Abstracts. However, the Organizer Comitee intends to publish the extended articles at the Asociación Geológica Argentina in 2011. After the realization of the First Argentine Congress on the History of Geological Sciences at San Miguel de Tucumán in 2007 with the leadership of Professor Dr. F.G. Aceñolaza and this meeting in Buenos Aires, we plan to meet together for the Third Argentine Congress on the History of Geological Sciences in 2013 at the city of Salta. In this way, the recognition of the History of Geological Sciences as an important part of academic geological schedule in Argentina is ensured.
