22nd International Scientific and Technical Conference

KOMTECH-IMTech

Innovative Techniques and Technologies in the period of Green Transformation 

 

11-13 October 2021


KOMAG Institute of Mining Technology invites you to participate in the KOMTECH-IMTech Conference, which will be held from 11 to 13 October this year in Szczyrk.

The aim of the conference is to present both the latest scientific, research and technical achievements in the field of modern mining, with particular emphasis on the issues of occupational safety and health protection, exchange of knowledge and experience in the use of innovative techniques and technologies as well as green solutions, practical for business and residents of post-mining areas . The transformation of the European economy towards a greener and more climate-friendly one is one of the most important tasks for the coming years. This is a major challenge for mining regions, both in terms of technological, social and economic challenges. Challenges related to the development of post-mining areas and the use of mine infrastructure.

The organizers hope that the conference will contribute to the integration of the scientific community with industry representatives, becoming an excellent opportunity for discussion and traditionally gathering a large group of participants interested in the directions of green transformation and the development of safe and effective mining.
