The Mining Institute of Scotland (MIS) is a professional body for the advancement of all perspectives of minerals (including oil and gas) and mining. Its objectives are to promote and develop every aspect of minerals and mining science, engineering and technology and this is achieved by providing information and related services, and influencing key opinion formers in government, industry, academia, the public and professions. MIS holds regular meetings, organises a full programme of events and facilitates applications for IOM3 membership including those pursuing professional registration.
The Institute has as members a very wide range of minerals professionals, including geologists, geo-technical engineers, mining engineers, electrical / mechanical engineers, petroleum and drilling engineers and extractive metallurgists - many with overlapping skills.
