Welcome to the Second International EnviroMining
Virtual Conference
26 - 27 May 2026
Jointly organized by the University of Bologna and the University of Petrosani
Following the success of our inaugural edition, we are proud to announce the Second International EnviroMining Conference 2026, an expanded, high-level international forum dedicated to advancing scientific excellence, digital innovation, and environmental responsibility in the extractive industries.
Building on the strong foundations established during the first conference, this second edition deepens the dialogue and broadens the thematic scope to reflect emerging priorities in mining engineering, environmental risk assessment, digital transformation, decarbonisation, circular economy strategies, and post-mining regeneration.
EnviroMining 2026 continues to bring together researchers, industry leaders, policymakers, engineers, environmental specialists, and technology developers to address the most pressing challenges facing mining and quarrying systems in a rapidly evolving regulatory and climate context.
