Partner Introductory Event

On 13 December 2022 the TIMREX consortium organised an event to introduce the non-academic partners to the students. The Partner Introductory Event was an opportunity for students to learn about the activities and added value from industry partner in TIMREX with regards to innovations in mineral exploration and the opportunities for students to join their activities. In addition, it provided an overview about the competence needs required by the raw materials industry from graduates.

The event is primarily organized for students of the TIMREX pilot cohort and for students interested in applying to the future TIMREX cohorts. All speakers made their presentations available for download – so the future TIMREX students can understand the added value provided by the industry component of the education program, and how to take part in it:

• Boliden Exploration, research & development, student opportunities – Boliden;
• Competences and skills/knowledge transfer possibilities – Geological Survey of Slovenia (GeoZS);
• Defining future skills and competencies needs for the raw materials sector – La Palma Research Centre (LPRC);
• Discovering Technological Opportunities in Exploring the Deep-Sea, Earth, and Outer Space – INESC TEC.
• KGHM CUPRUM at a glance – KGHM CUPRUM

We look forward to preparing our students for the competitive market in Mineral Exploration!
