The field of gold science and technology continues to undergo an exciting period of discovery. World Gold Council and the University of Heidelberg are pleased, therefore, to announce their co-organisation of the 5th international conference on gold science, technology and its applications at the University of Heidelberg, Germany between Sunday 26th – Wednesday 29th July 2009.
Gold Conferences History
This conference follows the successful and stimulating conferences held in Cape Town (2001), Vancouver (2003) and Limerick (2006) and the earlier meeting on 'Progress in the Science and Technology of Gold’ which took place in Hanau, Germany in 1996. Many scientists and technologists in academia and industry have praised the excellence of these forums, where they can come together to learn of and discuss the latest advances, with the overall objective of encouraging important new industrial applications for gold.
