Flotation '21: A final call for abstracts and a welcome to FLSmidth and Zeiss

As most of you will know, Flotation '21, originally scheduled to be held in Cape Town, is now, due to the ongoing pandemic, an online event from November 8-11.

We are pleased to welcome two regular MEI Conference sponsors, FLSmidth and Zeiss, to our list of companies supporting this event, and we thank you all for your continued confidence in this important series.

There is now a final call for abstracts, which must be submitted online by the end of next month, and decisions on presentations will be made no later than early September. If your abstract is accepted you will be asked to submit a recorded presentation for viewing online, and all presentations will be available on demand for 6 months after the event.

After the conference, presenters will be invited to submit papers for peer-review for possible publication in Minerals Engineering. Papers will be handled exclusively by me, as the journal's Editor-in-Chief, and I will take into account discussion at the conference and effectively fast-track the reviewing process.

If your paper is accepted for publication after refereeing, it will be published immediately in the first available regular issue of Minerals Engineering, and included in the Virtual Special Issue of the conference on ScienceDirect. This is an ideal opportunity to present your work to an international audience and have your paper published in a refereed journal of high repute.

Updates on the conference can be found at #Flotation21 and reports on the previous event, Flotation '19 can be found here.
