COMMISSION ON APPLIED MINERALOGY (CAM) Link to the CAM website Officers Sub-commissions IMA corresponding member Members List (Nov. 2006) Scientific Activities Annual reports, minutes & Communication Plan Strategy: IMA-CAM (http://www.appliedmin.org) was initiated around 1979, after the creation of the International Council for Applied Mineralogy (ICAM). The aims of IMA-CAM are to co-ordinate or arrange conferences, symposia, seminars, or meetings devoted to applied mineralogy, to serve as a liaison body to other organizations active in the field, and to encourage interaction between applied mineralogists, particularly focusing on the areas of process mineralogy, applied mineralogy of ceramics, cements and glasses, development and application of advanced materials, environmental mineralogy and health, analytical techniques, mineral surfaces and nanoparticles. Since the ICAM meeting in Perth 1993, it was decided to hold ICAM meetings on a quadrennial schedule at exactly half-way between the IMA meetings. In addition, ICAM and IMA-CAM decided of jointly sponsoring sessions organized by one or the other at ICAM and IMA Meetings (see CAM history ). The objectives of CAM was revisited during the Kobe business meeting (see the 2006 annual report ).
