Online Lecture Series 2026 Sustainable Resources: from mine planning to post-mining futures
EURECA-PRO is launching its sixth free online lecture series. The 2026 edition on Sustainable Resources: from mine planning to post-mining futures features 19 lectures presented by leading professors and researchers and explores sustainable resource management across the entire mining lifecycle: from responsible mine planning and extraction to circular economy approaches, environmental restoration, and post-mining futures.
Participants will explore environmental, technological, economic and social aspects of the mining lifecycle, gaining insight into current research and innovative practices supporting the transition towards a more sustainable and circular use of natural resources.
