Athens, Greece

IGME Auditorium

The Symposium on ‘Environmental pollution from Abandoned Mines’ co-organized by the Institute of Geology and Mineral Exploration (IGME), Sulaimani Polytechnic University (SPU) and Kurdistan Institution for Strategic Studies and Scientific Research (KISSR), was held on 25th and 26th of June in Athens and was attended by over 100 participants.
During the Symposium fruitful discussions took place among the international delegates and the local scientific community, concerning the threats on our environment after mining closure, as well as regarding the opportunities for sustainable managing of the abandoned mining sites.
Additionally, IGME signed Memoranda of Understanding with the SPU and the KISSR for future collaboration in the field of GeoScience.
On behalf of the organizing committee I would like to thank all the participants and the presenters for this successful event.
