Abstract

Mineral resources are an important pillar of human social development. With the gradual depletion of shallow resources, deep mining is an inevitable choice for ensuring energy security in various countries in the future. The complex and harsh environment in deep mining areas has led to frequent occurrences of hazardous events such as rockburst, coal and gas outburst, and mine fires. Mining safety science and engineering issues are receiving increasing attention. In August 2023, the 6th International Symposium on Mine Safety Science and Engineering was held in Harbin to promote innovative development of mining safety, and foster international collaborations among scholars in the field of mining safety. It served as a platform for the exchange of the most recent advancements in mining safety scientific theories, technologies, and equipment by bringing together global talent. Over 400 delegates representing 9 countries, including Australia, Russia, United State, Kazakhstan, and Canada, engaged in academic discussions and knowledge sharing on new theories, technologies, equipment, and methods in mining safety science and engineering. The latest research results are of great significance in enhancing the practices of preventing mine disaster and ensuring the safety of mining operations.
