The workshop would create the opportunity to compare the various datasets and different understanding that each individual or groups have acquired trying to develop a homogeneous and coherent framework within which the petrological evolution of the European mantle would be hopefully constrained. Particular emphasis will be dedicated to the results from in situ trace element and isotope analyses, which has been giving an outstanding push to geochemistry and petrology in recent years. Technology development has in fact brought some of these analyses almost to the routine level allowing the accumulation of a great amount of new data, which started opening a window for a new understanding of the relationships between lithosphere, asthenosphere and biosphere.
Contributions dealing with the direct investigation of mantle xenoliths or larger mantle occurrences such as alpine, abyssal and ophiolitic peridotites which allow a physical observations of mantle material at various scale are welcome, as well as those using primary magma compositions as an inverse approach to constrain the chemical features of the mantle sources on a global scale.
