In september 2007, three of our members (Zsófia Poros, Gabriella Kiss, Ágnes Takács) participated in the first international meeting of the SEG student chapters in Freiberg (Saxony, Germany). During the week, we got a general idea of the geology of the area. We visited many underground and open pit mines, for example:

- Nochten opencast lignite mine
- Boxberg thermal power plant
- Boulder Park Nochten (a recultivated old opencast mine)
- Wismuth GmbH famous mineral collection
- Schneckenstein „topaz-rock”
- Schneckenstein underground mine (Sn-U deposit)
- Morshleben Repository for Radioactive Wastes (old salt mine)
- Schöningen open pit lignite mine
- Poehle underground mine (Sn-W-U deposit)

At the final event of the meeting, every participant presented us their own chapters (activities, field trips etc). After the presentations the participants decided, that the next meeting will be in Budapest (Hungary) 2009, in the organisation of our chapter.
