Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to inform you that the 9th International Conference on Mining and Environmental Protection (MEP 2023). The 9th International Conference on Mining and Environmental Protection will be held from 24 to 27 May in Sokobanja, Serbia, organized by the University of Belgrade, Faculty of Mining and Geology in Belgrade—CENTER FOR ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING.
Previous conferences were very successful; scientists and companies from many countries gathered to share experiences, information, and research results. The objective of this conference is to bring together engineers, scientists, and managers working in the mining industry, research organizations, and government organizations, on the development and application of best practices in the mining industry in respect of environment protection.
In the previous 8th International Conference of Mining and Environmental Protection (MEP 2021), at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, approximately 80 participants from home and abroad participated, including participants from Germany, Spain, Slovenia, Croatia, Slovakia, Bulgaria, Russia, North Macedonia, and Bosnia and Herzegovina, whose works were printed in the Conference Proceedings. The Proceedings published a total of 38 articles.
At the conference in 2023, numerous scientists from Serbia and abroad are anticipated to participate once more. The attendance of representatives from almost all Serbian mines is expected, as well as significant participation of professionals from mines, institutes, and universities from all over the world.
Selected papers from both the 8th and 9th International Conference on Mining and Environmental Protection will be published in this Special Issue of Minerals.
