Conferences
20–23 March 2022, Perth, Western Australia
24th International Biohydrometallurgy Symposium (IBS) 2022
The biannual International Biohydrometallurgy Symposium is a global forum that brings together representatives from industry, research, innovation and education sectors and government to share knowledge on cutting edge science and technology in the field of mining biotechnology and discuss innovative solutions and best practice approaches.
Drawing from the expertise in biotechnology, chemistry, mineralogy, and engineering, mining biotechnology can benefit the resource sector by enabling the extraction of value from low-grade minerals and wastes streams, providing tools for minerals exploration and environmental monitoring, and mitigating harmful environmental impacts.
The IBS 2022 will be held in Perth, Western Australia, 20-23 March 2022 (Note: date changed from September 2021 to March 2022 due to COVID-19 related travel restrictions).
The economy of Western Australia is largely driven by the extraction and processing of a diverse range of mineral and energy commodities, such as iron ore, gold, alumina, nickel and petroleum.
IBS 2022 will be hosted by Australia’s National Science Research Agency, the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO). The Local Organising Committee includes members from CSIRO and Curtin University.
We welcome you to IBS2022 to share your latest scientific advances, find solutions for industry challenges, attend as a sponsor or exhibitor to promote your technologies, services and products, and meet experts across the world.
On behalf of the IBS 2022 Local Organising Committee and IBS International Scientific Committee,
Anna Kaksonen
