Researchers and stakeholders are warmly invited to contribute to the symposium by presenting a poster. Posters will be displayed and discussed during the social breaks (coffee breaks, lunches, and walking dinner), offering an excellent opportunity to showcase research, share ideas, and connect with participants from across the hydrometallurgy community.
Authors are invited to submit an abstract not exceeding one A4 page. Submissions should address a topic within the scope of the symposium.
All accepted posters must be presented during the symposium by a registered presenting author.
Poster format: Accepted posters should be prepared in A0 size (portrait orientation).
A Best Poster Award will be presented to the poster selected by participant vote during the symposium. The award will be announced during the closing session of the symposium.
Submission deadline: 15 July 2026
Notification of acceptance: Within one week after submission
Companies and suppliers are invited to present their technology and know-how to other companies and scientists, alongside the symposium. The exhibition area will be integrated in the coffee breaks/lunch/reception/walking dinner area.
