The International Biohydrometallurgy Symposium 2007 is the 17^th event of an established series that originated in 1978. In recent years attention has focused increasingly on the role that microorganisms play in the treatment of minerals, metals, coal, oil, waste materials and also in related environmental issues.

Besides new technologies for the production of raw materials and valuable substances the main tasks are focused on the remediation of former mining activities and environmental protection connected with the different kinds of mining and the mining industries. Increasing contributions to the field from disciplines like genetics, biochemistry, electrochemistry microbiology, hydrometallurgy, chemistry, geology and process engineering have affected the rapid development as well as pressure from the European Union and national governments.

The International Biohydrometallurgy Symposium 2007 will be held in Frankfurt am Main, Germany.

The Symposium will provide a forum to present the latest scientific and technological advances in this area, and an opportunity for biotechnologists, practitioners and environmentalists to discuss future trends in the field.

This is the second time that the symposium will be held in Germany. We expect to have a large number of participants from the new EU member states and developing countries because there is a wide field for all problems relating to post-mining remediation. This is also a unique opportunity to demonstrate the manifold remediation techniques in ore mining, uranium mining as well as coal and lignite mining. Therefore, the meeting will be an opportunity for scientists and engineers to study biohydrometallurgical applications, to learn how to implement them as well as to find new ways of collaboration.
