en.Wedoany.com Reported - The 25th National Forum on Scientific Mining, Ground Pressure Theory and Engineering Practice (Ming Gao Forum) will be held from July 18 to 20 in Xuzhou, Jiangsu, China. This forum is hosted by China University of Mining and Technology, with guidance provided by the China National Coal Association and the Chinese Society for Coal Science. The forum focuses on ten major topics including green and intelligent mining, solid waste resource utilization, carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) zero-carbon technologies, strata control, dynamic disaster prevention and control, ecological restoration, and intelligent mining talent cultivation. It aims to promote the deep integration of scientific mining theory innovation and engineering practice.
The forum will invite academicians from both academies (CAS and CAE), executives from coal enterprises, and personnel from research institutions to participate. It will feature keynote reports and sessions for young scholars. During the conference, the key technological pathways for the transformation of coal mining from traditional models towards green, intelligent, and low-carbon directions will be systematically discussed. Among these, the solid waste resource utilization topic covers the comprehensive utilization of mining solid wastes such as coal gangue and fly ash. The CCUS zero-carbon technologies focus on the capture, utilization, and storage of carbon dioxide during coal mining and utilization processes, representing an important technological direction for achieving carbon neutrality goals in the mining industry.
According to the organizers, the National Forum on Scientific Mining and Ground Pressure Theory (Ming Gao Forum) has been successfully held 24 times since its inception and is one of the long-standing and influential academic exchange platforms in China's coal industry. Previous forums have cumulatively presented over a thousand academic reports, promoting technological progress in multiple disciplinary fields such as strata control and ground pressure theory. Xuzhou, the host city of this year's forum, is the location of China University of Mining and Technology. Founded in 1909, the university is a key base for coal-related higher education in China and holds a leading position in disciplines such as mining engineering and safety science and engineering.
Registration for the forum has commenced. The conference fee is set at 2,000 yuan per person for regular delegates and 1,000 yuan per person for student delegates. Participants must complete registration by June 30. The forum is expected to attract hundreds of professionals from major coal enterprises, research institutes, and universities across the country.
The forum is named "Ming Gao" in honor of pioneering Chinese scholars in mining science, aiming to carry forward the concept of scientific mining. The concept of scientific mining was systematically proposed by scholars from China University of Mining and Technology in the early 21st century, emphasizing resource conservation, environmental protection, and worker rights while ensuring safety and efficiency. Ground pressure and strata control are core disciplinary areas in mining engineering, involving the stress distribution and control technologies of the rock mass surrounding the mining face and roadways, which are directly related to mine production safety and efficiency.
The academic exchanges and achievement presentations at this forum will provide technological support and a talent cultivation platform for the green, low-carbon transformation and intelligent development of the coal industry.
