12th Sino-Russian International Forum on Deep Rock Mechanics in Mining Successfully Held in Beijing

The 12th Sino-Russian International Forum on Deep Rock Mechanics in Mining was successfully held in Beijing from August 3 to 4, 2024. The forum was co-organized by the Chinese Society for Rock Mechanics and Engineering (CSRME), the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, the Far Eastern Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, and the Far Eastern Federal University of Russia. The event was hosted by the China Coal Research Institute Co., Ltd., the National Key Laboratory of Coal Intelligent Mining and Roof Control, the China Coal Research Institute Mining Research Institute Co., Ltd., and the CSRME Professional Committee on Mine Rockburst.

With the theme "Digital Rock Mechanics: Theory, Technology, and Engineering Practice," the forum focused on the hot and challenging issues in deep rock mechanics and mining engineering. A total of 78 experts from China and Russia delivered academic presentations on topics such as "Mining Digital Technology and Equipment", "Disaster Prevention and Control in Deep Geotechnical Engineering", and "Frontier Technologies in Coal Mine Intelligence Construction". Nearly 300 experts and scholars from universities, research institutes, and enterprises in China and Russia participated in the forum. The successful hosting of this event laid a solid foundation for deeper cooperation between the two countries in the fields of rock mechanics and engineering, contributing to the intelligent and digital advancement of global mining engineering, as well as the safe, efficient, intelligent, and sustainable development of deep energy resources.
