The Metallurgical Society Metallurgists have been active in
CIM from its
inception in 1898. In 1945, the Metallurgy Division was formed to reflect
the group’s technical interests. Constituted as a Society in 1967, the Metallurgical
Society (MetSoc) is one of the four societies and five divisions making
up the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum.
The Metallurgical Society is composed of nine technical sections, representing
the technical diversity of the metals, minerals and materials community,
and of nine standing committees dedicated to the various member services
of the Society. Each section and committee establishes a yearly program
of activities in response to its member’s interests.
The main purpose of the sections is to create forums for the sharing of
ideas or the analysis of problems. Representatives of each section are responsible
for the organization of technical meetings and symposia to deal with current
issues in their area of expertise. These events occur at the Annual Conference
of Metallurgists, the Hydrometallurgy Annual Meeting, and the CIM Annual
General Meeting or at specific international symposia and regional meetings.
The organization of short courses, workshops, seminars, symposia or special
publication projects are considered by the sections who collaborate with
the appropriate standing committees in order to achieve their goals. |
