Virtual Course: Mining Environmental Liabilities and Secondary Raw Materials

From September 25 to October 3, 2024 (Total duration: 10 hours)

Our project partner ASGMI organises a virtual training course on "Mining Environmental Liabilities and Secondary Raw Materials". It is specifically aimed at postgraduate students from fields such as geology, mining engineering, or environmental engineering. The course will be online, in English, in 2-hour sessions with a total of 10 hours, between 25th September and 3rd October 2024.

A great occasion to dive into this important aspect of the raw materials supply chain, one of the issues that our START project wants to address!

See the details below.

OBJECTIVES

Provide participants an in-depth understanding of mining processes, their environmental and social impacts, and to equip them with the necessary tools for the identification, assessment, and remediation of mining environmental liabilities.

SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES
