To be held in Madrid, Spain, at the Melia Castilla Hotel, on May 21 2001, it will precede BIR's three-day Spring Convention from May 22-24.
BIR and ISRI leaders initiated the symposium concept during BIR's World Recycling Convention in San Francisco earlier this year.
The two organisations jointly agreed to proceed with the project during a special meeting chaired by Tony Bird, chairman of BIR's special projects committee, during the recent BIR Round Table session in Dsseldorf, Germany. A joint BIR and ISRI development team has been appointed to plan all aspects of the programme.
Although the symposium is linked to the BIR Spring Convention, it will be an independent conference in its own right open to non-members of both BIR and ISRI, as well as invited members and guests.
BIR President Barry Hunter and ISRI Chair Sam Hummelstein expressed satisfaction in being able to work together to increase international understanding of the complexities of international steel recycling.
Information on programme, speakers, topics, registration, and hotel reservations will be released as planning continues.
