Project identification code: 2020-1-CZ01-KA226-HE-094221

Project duration: June 2021 – May 2023, 24 months

Project total costs: 212 010 Eur

Financed by: Erasmus+ Programme, KA2 - Cooperation for Innovation and the Exchange of Good Practices, KA203 - Strategic Partnerships for higher education

Why this project?

There is a growing need to introduce distance learning and along with it the implementation of IT technologies in teaching. The current COVID-19 pandemic places high demands on the rapid introduction and improvement of distance learning. To face this challenge, the project brings a new innovative course in the field of technical education all in e-learning form, including support to teachers to develop digital competencies to adapt to distance learning.

The main result of the project is the creation of a new course “Use of Abandoned Mines”. Thanks to the project, we will initiate the formation of a unique community of experts and exchange of experience and knowledge not only among scholars within the EU countries (Germany, Spain, Czech Republic and Poland). Most importantly, thanks to the creation of a new university course, knowledge and experience will be shared with mining and engineering students.

The project is based on shared knowledge, experience and best practice of the project partners from four European countries, who will closely cooperate during all phases of the project. Cooperation among partners enables connection of theory with practice and reflects the requirements and perspectives of stakeholders. International cooperation enables knowledge transfer and exchange of good practice, the most effective tools for enhancement of skills and professional knowledge of people.

DMT - Gesellschaft für Lehre und Bildung mbH -Technische Hochschule Georg Agricola, Germany

The TH Georg Agricola University as part of DMT-LB was founded in 1816 as a school of mining and more than 200 years of tradition pay into its unique features. Today, with a future-oriented emphasis on mineral resources engineering and post-mining, materials science, mechanical engineering and process engineering, information technology or smart energy, the THGA connects its traditional knowledge with a modern focus. More about THGA at www.thga.de/en

The TH Georg Agricola University provides the perfect starting point for exploring the post-mining environment. The Research Center of Post Mining, which was established in 2015, has core tasks on the subjects of managing the subsequent effects of mining operations in a sustainable manner as well as transforming the former mining areas and infrastructures for future use. In addition to the technical issues, socio-economic and structural-political aspects of reactivation and transition are also addressed. The focal aspects of the research center are perpetual tasks and mine water management, geomonitoring in post-mining, material sciences for the preservation of industrial heritage and reactivation and transition of mine sites.
