2023 PDAC-SEG Student Minerals Colloquium
Call for Registration
We are pleased to announce a call for registration and abstract submission for the 2023 PDAC-SEG Student Minerals Colloquium (SMC).
Returning to its original format, the Colloquium will take place as an in-person event at the PDAC 2023 Convention in Toronto, Canada, from March 5-8, 2023.
All students (BSc, MSc, PhD) working on projects linked to earth science and economic geology* (e.g. mapping, mineralogy, geochemistry, geophysics, environmental, hydrogeology, etc.) are encouraged to participate!
Presenters will have the opportunity to share their research with an audience of academics, students, and industry professionals in a poster format located within the Investors Exchange exhibit.
The SMC attracts hundreds of industry participants attending the PDAC Convention, providing the broadest possible exposure for student research.
Posters are judged by a panel of academics and industry professionals, and thanks to our sponsors, cash prizes are awarded to winners in multiple categories. Judges will select three winners for the best poster presentations from each of the BSc, MSc, and PhD categories. Winners will be recognized at the SMC reception and awards ceremony on Tuesday, March 7, from 3:30 - 5 p.m.
