The final\nreview meeting of the International Network of Raw Materials Training Centres\n(INTERMIN) Horizon 2020 Project took place virtually on 24th September 2021.\nThe INTERMIN Consortium gathered online to meet up with their European\nCommission (EC) Project Officer and Reviewer for a final evaluation of the\nproject work and results. The meeting marked the end of the fourty-two months\nlong project, which was officially closed in August this year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In an open atmosphere, the different INTERMIN work package leaders presented work package progress, results, and proposals for future development of the topics, and discussed them with the EC representatives. Additionally, the sustainability plan of the INTERMIN Project and the INTERMIN Portal were deliberated during the meeting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Therefore, despite the official project end, the INTERMIN Portal will still be maintained and will remain accessible to everyone for free. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The\noutcomes of the INTERMIN Project:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The INTERMIN Project has developed a roadmap for enhancing education and the development of skills and knowledge in the raw materials sector. Through its Portal, INTERMIN has created an international qualifications framework for the raw materials education and training sector \u2013 the first of its kind worldwide \u2013 defining knowledge and skills levels for different courses on exploration, extraction, processing and recycling of raw materials. The project covers a global audience of approximately 550,000 professionals from 5 continents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As an added value, the project created two networks of post grade training and educational centers, a European one (GUIDE) and a global one (INTERMIN), both accessible online for free. Prof. Manuel Regueiro y Gonz\u00e1lez Barros, Coordinator of the INTERMIN Project, commented that \u201cthe INTERMIN portal allows users to perform easy searches of the more adequate training through the widely available study programs\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n More key findings of the project are available in the report below. <\/p>\n\n\n\n About the INTERMIN Consortium:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n The INTERMIN consortium brings\ntogether 14 organizations, alongside 5 more organizations as Third Parties\n(under the umbrella of the EuroGeoSurveys) and international and institutional\ncoverage of Advisory Board members. The INTERMIN Project has received funding\nfrom the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under\nGrant Agreement Number 776642. <\/p>\n\n\n\n For more\ninformation, visit: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
