Mining Feature: SME Spring 2023 Seminar Series features NIOSH presentations
Wednesday, March 29, 2023
***Register now***
NIOSH Mining Program researchers and selected speakers will deliver a series of presentations at the Spring 2023 Seminar Series coordinated between the Program and the Pittsburgh Section of the Society for Mining, Metallurgy, & Exploration (SME). These presentations are based on NIOSH papers accepted and published at the 2023 SME Annual Conference.
The series will consist of eight 90-minute virtual sessions beginning on Tuesday, April 4th and continuing thereafter on a Tuesday-Thursday schedule for four weeks (April 4, 6, 11, 13, 18, 20, 25, 27). Each session will begin at 1:00 p.m. EDT and will conclude at 2:30 p.m. During each session, a total of four papers will be presented at 20-minute intervals (15 minutes for the presentation and 5 minutes for questions).
Attendance is free.
For those who wish to earn professional development hours, PDH certificates are available from SME at an extra cost. PDH certificates will be available for 1.5 hours per session up to a total of 12 hours for the complete series. SME will charge a flat rate per certificate regardless of the number of hours.
**Registration is required** for attendance and to receive an optional PDH certificate. Upon registration, you will receive an email confirmation containing the Zoom meeting link and additional information.
PDH certificates must be requested from Mary DelRosso (mary412d@comcast.net or 412-835-7387)
