Advancing The Science Of Salt
International Salt Alliance (ISA) has served as a central platform for global collaboration in salt mining, production, trade, and research. We convene industry leaders, technical experts, policymakers, and researchers to shape the future of the salt sector.
The 11th World Salt Symposium
Join Us in Dublin, 2027
Since its inception, the World Salt Symposium has served as the premier international forum bringing together salt industry professionals, scientists, corporate executives, and scholars from every corner of the world — the definitive event for comprehensive discourse on all matters relating to salt.
The 2027 Dublin Assembly
The 11th World Salt Symposium will be organised by EuSalt (the European Salt Producers’ Association) and will convene in Dublin, Ireland, in 2027. The International Salt Alliance (ISA), established to sustain the global salt community following the Symposium’s hiatus, is proud to support this landmark revival.
