11th International Scientific-Practical Conference on Up-to-date Problems of Mining and Geology

On September 25, 2025, the 11th International Scientific-Practical Conference on Up-to-date Problems of Mining and Geology was held in Building III of the Georgian Technical University, organized by the Georgian Technical University, G. Tsulukidze Mining Institute, the Mineralogical Society of Georgia, and the Institute of Hydrogeology and Engineering Geology, and supported by the RMG Rchich Metal Group: “THE DEVELOPMENT OF MINING AND GEOLOGY IS THE PRECONDITION FOR THE REVIVAL OF ECONOMY”.

The conference was attended by Jürgen Kretschmann, Adjunct professor Adjunct professor of the RWTH Aachen University of Technology, and Dr. Birgit Müller, Managing Director of the Landesforschungszentrum Geothermie at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology.
