New Industrial Applications for Gold - Conferences

World Gold Council is a sponsor and supporter of a series of international events aimed at uncovering new industrial applications for gold. This series includes the successful 'Catalytic Gold' conferences held in Cape Town, South Africa in April 2001 and 'New Industrial Applications for Gold' events in Vancouver, Canada in 2003 and Limerick, Ireland in 2006. The series builds on the more general meeting on 'Progress in the Science and Technology of Gold' which took place in Hanau, Germany in June 1996.

The most recent and largest event, the 'Gold 2009' conference, took place in Heidelberg, Germany in July 2009 and covered all aspects of the science, technology and applications of gold under four principal themes; Catalysis, Chemistry, Materials, and Nanotechnology. We believe that the gold R & D community needs a dedicated forum to discuss the latest advances in gold science and technology and to ensure that this new emerging science is brought to the attention of industry in order to encourage its commercial exploitation to the benefit of society.
