THE CONFERANCE FRAMEWORK

Agriculture is the backbone of the African economy and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) reports that agriculture accounts for around 20% of the continent's GDP, 60% of its workforce, 20% of all exports and is the main source of income for rural populations on the continent. Recognizing the essential role agriculture plays in the food sustainability of a growing African population, African leaders have adopted a strong African Agriculture Development Program (CAADP), targeting an average annual agricultural growth rate of 6

In June 2006, African leaders gathered in Abuja, Nigeria, to take action on the importance of fertilizers for an African green revolution. The main outcome of this summit confirmed the commitment of African heads of state to rapidly increase the use of fertilizers on the continent, bringing the average from 9 kg / ha in 2006 to nearly 50 kg / ha in 2015, a target that has not yet been reached in 2021. At the 23rd African Union Summit, held in June 2014 in Malabo, Equatorial Guinea, African leaders adopted the Malabo Declaration on Accelerated Growth and Transformation of agriculture for shared prosperity and better living conditions for the African population, reaffirming that agriculture must remain at the forefront of the continent's development agenda.

In order to achieve the objectives of agricultural growth and the eradication of food shortage on the African continent established in the Malabo Declaration, within the framework of CAADP and in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) adopted by the United Nations, a significant improvement in productivity is deemed necessary for heavily degraded African soils, estimated at over 40%. The African continent has 13% of the world's arable land and about 17% of the world's population. It is estimated that if the above stated goals are not met, many countries on the African continent will face food insecurity and unforeseeable consequences. Important factors contributing to the reduction of fertility of African soils are: complete elimination of crops from cultivated fields, unbalanced soil fertilization and little or no use of fertilizers.

Data from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) published indicate that the largest consumers of fertilizer in Africa are South Africa, with 68.2 kg per ha in 2018, followed from North Africa, with an average consumption of 55.2 kg per ha.; East Africa with 20.7 kg per ha; and West Africa with 13.9 kg per ha (region where Cape Verde is located and the economic bloc of the Economic Community of West African States - ECOWAS).

The Central African region had the lowest consumption, at only 5.2 kg per ha. FAO data further showed that West Africa had the largest average increase in nutrient consumption, especially nitrogen, which nearly tripled in a decade, from 2.7 kg per ha in 2008 to 8 kg per ha in 2018; phosphate consumption increased over the same period from 0.9 kg per ha to 2.9 kg per ha.

From ancient Greece (61-114 AD) to the present day, eminent specialists have devoted themselves to the problem of fertilizing agricultural soils based on the application of rock powders, due to the many advantages that this solution entails and a relevant contribution to the sustainability of agriculture, Africa and the modern world.

It is in this context that Cape Verde will host, from September 26 to 28, 2022, an international event on the theme «APPLICATION OF BASALT POWDER IN AGRICULTURE- Its advantages as fertilizer for agriculture».

THE CONFERENCE SPEAKER GUIDELINES
Speaker Selection
»The selection of a Speaker for the International Conference is entirely independent of any commercial consideration and is based solely on merit as determined in consensus by the Organizing Committee of the Event.

»When a Speaker Proposal is received from a company or an individual that does not fully meet BASALT Conference Speaker terms & conditions, the BASALT Conference Organizing Committee will contact the company or the individual for further clarification, if applicable, before proceeding with the proposal evaluation.

»Please also note that for technology companies & commercial suppliers of research services there is a sponsorship requirement attached to BASALT Conference Scientific Council. For more information on this, please go to sponsors within BASALT Conference website.

Speaker Registration
»All Speakers participate by invitation-only.

»All Participants must register and pay a fee to access the BASALT Conference, as well accommodation and travel expenses.

»The International Conference is a premium event which has an exceptionally high quality production cost.

»BASALT Conference Organizing Committee believes that a policy in which all participants pay to access the Event ensures that a participation fee as economical as possible for all participants of the Event is maintained.

Speaker Timing-Format
»BASALT Conference Organizing Committee has adapted the speaker timing to maximize the interaction between speakers and participants. This gives as many participants as possible an opportunity to speak.

»The format of each Speaker′s stage presentation is assigned by the BASALT Conference Programme Board, and is based on the specific topic and overall number of Speakers in each session. The format of a speaker's on-stage participation on a topic session -- individual presentation, co-Speaker presentation, discussion panel participation, session moderation or other type of presentation - are considered equally as 1 speaking slot.

»With the exception of Keynote Speakers, all individual Speakers are generally allotted a total of 7 minutes presentation time and co-Speakers a total of 10 minutes.

»As the BASALT Conference Organizing Committee represents a gathering of the industry elite, speaking at BASALT Conference is not only ideal to impart knowledge and experiences but also the basis for engaging in discussions between Speakers and participants. Speakers should adapt their presentations so that key learnings are communicated, clearly and concisely, within the allotted time, and refraining from any possible "sales" contents that is perceived to reduce the credibility of the insights presented and is not appreciated by the audience.

Speaker Presentation Format
»Most BASALT Conference presentation sessions have several Speakers presenting on the same topic. BASALT Conference Organizing Committee aims to provide a holistic, multi-angled view on each topic that is covered, with as many key industry representatives on stage to share their insights and experiences.

»Within each session, the time allotted for an individual Speaker presentation is 7 minutes and 10 minutes for co-Speakers, followed by a 3 - 5 minute Q&A session. This format aims to maximise the interaction between Speaker & participants, and to give as many experts as possible an opportunity to contribute. Each session is moderated by a state-of-the-art industry, research and development facility, technology institution, university, or other similar representative.

»All Speakers are provided with a standard BASALT Conference branded presentation template (Powerpoint) and a detailed speaker reference guide.

»For approved speakers, the deadline for receiving the final presentation is 30 June 2023.

Preparatory Session:
»10 days before the Event, BASALT Conference Organizing Committee requests each speaker and his session companions, if any, to allocate time for at least one preparation session by means of a conference call with the participant session moderator.

Guidance notes for presentation slides:
»If the speaker′s session is made for a 7 minute presentation slot, BASALT Conference Organizing Committee would not recommend preparing too many slides. The speaker should consider the most effective way to disseminate the information. Slides with too much detail or extensive content will take more time to cover than a slide holding a well-structured set of key points.

»The BASALT Conference Organizing Committee suggest Speakers to prepare 1 slide for every 2 minutes of presentation time.

Speaker Substitution, Addition or Cancellation:
»As speakers are chosen by the BASALT Conference Scientific Council for their specialist knowledge and communication skills, not because of the company that they represent, BASALT Conference Organizing Committee generally does not allows Speaker substitutions.

»If for some reason a Speaker needs to cancel their participation, the BASALT Conference Organizing Committee should be informed as soon as possible by sending an e-mail to helpdesk@basaltconference.com

»BASALT Conference Organizing Committee requests that, if possible, a suitable replacement recommendation should be provided. A recommendation is particularly helpful in case we do not have a Speaker on the waiting list for a specific topic.

»Any Speaker replacement or addition (in the case of a co-Speaker presentation) will need to be approved by the BASALT Conference Programme Board in advance of the Event, and the BASALT Conference Organizing Committee therefore appreciates timely considerations of any changes that may occur.

»BASALT Conference Organizing Committee reserves the right to cancel a Speaker engagement should the Speaker fail to comply with deadlines and criteria for presentations.

BASALT CONFERENCE

BASALT - THE WEALTH OF NATIONS

Basalt is a dark-coloured volcanic rock composed of plagioclase, pyroxene and olivine. It is a tenacious and resistant rock with a density approximately 5% higher than that of glass. Basalt fibre, a derivative of the rock's casting process (single ingredient used in fibre production), is of superior quality to other known fibres for thermal stability, heat and sound insulation, vibration resistance, durability and lightness, that is to say, in a summarized way, it can be said that basalt fibre is a type of fibre with better performance with regard to the physical-mechanical properties.

Basalt fibre had a recent development when compared to the traditional fibres used in the manufacture of polymer composites, such as glass fibre, carbon fibre and aramid. Its strength and modulus properties are located between those recorded by the E-glass fibres and S-glass fibres. In addition, they have a higher working temperature, good chemical and impact resistance, corrosion resistance and less release of gases at the burn.

Agrominerals in agriculture (basalt powder), the subject of the International Conference, proved capable of having a great impact in particularly: profitability of agricultural production, environmental protection and human health; quality of the food produced; availability of fertilizers for the majority of micro, small and medium agricultural producers; development of the innovative industrial chain based on basalt fiber, which is increasingly used in a wide field of applications.

The Basalt

» The use of basalt in the manufacture of composite materials has many unparalleled advantages. The resulting composites allow to optimize the properties of the materials, including the mechanical, chemical and physical properties, as well as the thermal, electrical, optical and acoustic properties. Due to its high strength and lightness, resulting from the physical and mechanical properties of basalt fibre, these composite materials thus have a wide field of industrial application.

The low price of basalt fibre, which may be lower than that of fibreglass-E, justifies the increasing use of this fibre. For these reasons, basalt fibre is increasingly used in a wide range of applications, including the manufacture of pressure vessels, cylinders, profiles, automotive parts, wind turbines, reinforcing concrete structures, fire-resisting textile materials (in the aerospace and automotive industries), maritime applications, military industry, and various other products and fields of application.
