INTERMIN. Find your future - The official video about the Mining Engineer

 

The International Network of Raw Materials Training Centres (INTERMIN) Project is a European Union H2020 funded research project. The INTERMIN creates a self-sustainable long-term lasting global network of training centres for students and professionals in the primary and secondary raw materials sector. This project involves educational and research institutions on a global scale. INTERMIN has identified the key knowledge gaps, emerging needs in education & training by establishing common training programmes in the raw materials sector, and has developed the roadmap for improving skills and knowledge.

Explore Programs: INTERMIN is a database about mining training. We collect knowledge about mining teaching all around the world and rank the best programs. https://portal.interminproject.org/explore-programs/

Explore Institutions: INTERMIN is also a worldwide network. Our members are Institutions around the world offering mining knowledge programs. https://portal.interminproject.org/explore-institutions/

Explore Sites: Explore the worldwide study programs covering all training areas about mining. https://portal.interminproject.org/explore-sites/

Join the INTERMIN Portal: If your institution has training and/or educational programs related to raw materials, please join the INTERMIN Network by registering in our database. https://portal.interminproject.org/


Report: INTERMIN at the PDAC 2020 Convention

PDAC, the Prospectors and Developers Association of Canada’s annual convention, is the world’s leading event for the mining and exploration industry. PDAC 2020 was held from March 1 – 4 at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre. With over 1,100 exhibitors and 25,000 plus attendees from 132 countries, the different sessions, presentations, and networking provided the right platform for sharing insights on several issues in exploration and mining. PDAC was one of the few major events not cancelled or rescheduled due to the COVID-19 outbreak, though registration numbers were down when compared to previous years.

During the convention, INTERMIN was at the EGS stand within the European Commission booth (7123N) where the EU also hosted European Commission representatives, projects from H2020 (the EU research programme for research and innovation), EU countries, small and medium-sized enterprises and EU geological surveys.

INTERMIN was represented at the PDAC 2020 by the INTERMIN Project Coordinator Dr. Manuel Regueiro of Geological and Mining Institute Spain, IGME and Dr. Slavko Solar, Secretary General of EuroGeoSurveys.

International Qualification Framework for the Raw Materials Sector

The Intermin project has been working on a comprehensive competency model for an international sectoral framework for the raw materials sector (SQF-RM) for improving relevance, transparency and coherence between qualifications minerals value chain and the corresponding international recognition.

The SQF-RM emcompasses diverse learning achievement and education pathways across professions that intersect in the raw materials space. To embrace the existing broad spectrum of approaches to the regulation of professions within the raw materials sector, the SQF-RM uses as a reference the European Qualifications Framework (EQF).

The level descriptors of the SQF-RM are detailed accordingly with the main areas of activity of the sector: 1) mineral exploration; 2) mineral extraction and processing; and 3) material engineering and recycling, as thoroughly described in the Deliverable 3.1. Each qualification defined within the architecture proposed for the SQF-RM is referenced to a specific level on the EQF (including levels 3 to 7), describing sets of learning outcomes, i.e. knowledge, skills and autonomy/responsibility.
