 | | The "International Council for Applied Mineralogy" (ICAM) was founded in Johannesburg, S. Africa in 1981 by scientists from Australia, Canada, Germany, Poland, South Africa and the USA to provide an interdisciplinary forum for specialists in the fields of mineralogy, chemistry, mineral exploration, engineering, environment, ceramics, metallurgy, archeometry and medicine. |
 | | A further objective of ICAM is to recruit industrial participation, to highlight their current research needs, and to promote contacts to specialists in all fields of applied mineralogy. |
 | | The previous five ICAM congresses were held in Johannesburg, S.A. Los Angeles, USA (1984), Pretoria, S.A. (1991), Perth, Australia (1993), and Warsaw, Poland (1996). |
