Discover the mineral potential of Fennoscandia and Northern Europe
On 14-18 June, Master and PhD students are invited to participate in the five days online short course on “Fingerprinting techniques in mineral exploration”. The short course is organised by MinExTarget project, UiT The Arctic University of Norway, in collaboration with AGH University of Science and Technology, Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland (GEUS), Geological Survey of Finland (GTK), University of Oulu (OU), and EIT RawMaterials Academy.
In the course, students will gain general knowledge about the geology and mineral potential of Fennoscandia and Northern Europe and learn about traditional and modern mineral exploration techniques. A particular focus will be given to sampling, sample preparation, analytical techniques and data processing. The course consists of lectures, practical work and discussions. The students participating in the short course will receive a participation certificate after the course. It is also possible to attend the lectures without participating in the short course practical work in small groups and discussion sessions.
