Student Minerals Colloquium
The Student Minerals Colloquium (SMC) brings together geoscience students and industry professionals to highlight innovative student research on projects essential for the successful evolution of the modern mining industry.
This event provides industry professionals with an opportunity to support and stay current with ongoing international research from students across the world. The 17th annual colloquium will take place at the PDAC 2026 Convention in Toronto, Canada from March 1-4, 2026
A panel of industry professionals will judge the posters and three winners from each of the BSc, MSc, PhD categories will receive $500, $400 and $300 respectively. All students will be at their posters for judging on Tuesday March 3, from 10:00 am – 12 noon.
Convention attendees are encouraged to visit the exhibits to meet the student researchers and attend the SMC Poster Awards & Reception on Tuesday March 3 in the Northern Lights Learning Hub from 3:30 – 5:00 pm.
