From podium to publication: share your work globally at MEI Conferences

The deadline for abstract submissions to Flotation '25, taking place this November in Cape Town, is the end of next week.

If your research is relevant to a global audience, an MEI Conference offers an excellent platform to present your work, with the opportunity for publication in a leading international journal.

Presentation and Publication Process

All MEI Conferences, including Flotation '25, follow the same streamlined process:

Abstract Submission: Submit a short abstract. If accepted, your work will be scheduled for either:

• An oral presentation during the technical sessions, or
• A poster presentation, displayed throughout the conference.

Extended Abstracts:

• Oral presenters are required to submit an extended abstract (short paper) prior to the conference. This will be included in the online open-access Proceedings.
• Poster presenters are encouraged, but not required, to submit a paper.

The Flotation '23 Proceedings serve as a good example. After each conference, oral presentations are summarised with links to the corresponding papers (see also the recent summary from Comminution '25).

Why Present at an MEI Conference?

• No parallel sessions: Every presentation receives full attention.
• Long breaks and social events: These provide ample opportunities for discussion, feedback, and networking.
• A friendly, focused environment encourages constructive dialogue and fresh ideas.

Post-Conference Publication

After the event, all presenters (oral and poster) are invited to submit full papers to Minerals Engineering, the leading journal in the field. Submissions are assessed by Editor-in-Chief Dr. Pablo Brito-Parada, prior to peer-review, and, if accepted, are:

• Published in the next available regular issue, and
• Included in a virtual special issue dedicated to the conference on ScienceDirect (e.g. Flotation '23).

If you have something important to share, we invite you to present it at an MEI Conference.
