DTTG Workshop 2021 The DTTG Workshop "Qualitative and Quantitative Analysis of Clays and Clay Minerals", which is offered every two years, will take place in its 9th edition in 2021 not, as usual, in February, but from 13 - 17 Sep. and this time at the FGK - Research Institute for Inorganic Materials - Glass/Ceramics in Höhr-Grenzhausen near Koblenz. Further information regarding the corona situation will follow. MECC 2020 In connection with the pandemic of COVID-19 the Organizing Committee of the 10th Jubilee Conference MECC 2020, after consulting all members of the Central European Clay Groups, decided to postpone the Conference to 2022. The two-year delay has been chosen in order to avoid the coincidence with the International Clay Conference, Istanbul, Turkey, 12-16 July 2021. Due to the fact that therefore this year no general meeting of the DTTG with election of the new board could take place and the statutes do not provide for a postal vote, the statute passage was activated that the term of office of the board is usually two years and the unusual circumstances consequently extend the term of office by another two years. Florian Christ (Uni Bochum) was co-opted as the new representative of the student body on the Board. REYNOLDS-CUP 2020 The 10th Reynolds Cup 2020 has been completed. The winners were announced at the 57th CMS Annual Meeting in Richland, WA, which was conducted online. First place went to the QMinerals team, repeating their 2016 success! Second place went to the CSIRO team led by Mark Raven (no strangers to them either) and third place to Bruno Lanson and Nathaniel Findling (ISTerre-Univ. Grenoble Alpes/CNRS). The fourth place of the BGR team (Kristian Ufer, Stephan Kaufhold and Reiner Dohrmann) together with two other groups from France and Poland should also be mentioned. Congratulations to the winners.
