Project duration: 01 January 2018 – 01 March 2020
Objective
MINERS aims to establish an international mine emergency response and rescue training module for integration into university master’s and PhD curricula. It will combine the know-how of different international universities, companies and experts and will prepare students to work in the fields of mine emergency response, rescue operations and crisis management.
The solution (technology)
Mine Emergency Response(MINERS) and rescue School aims to create an international program to teach students important skills in fields like mine rescue, emergency response and safety management. The students will not only learn the theoretical backgrounds of national and international safety standards and rescue procedures, but they will also be trained under real life conditions, supported by experts, to learn proper skills to run a safe and successful rescue mission.
Within MINERS an international uniform mine rescue program will be established that brings together students form different universities trained by international experts, who have personally been involved in mining accidents and have led rescue operations all over the world.
