The SGA is sponsoring or co-sponsoring several short courses and workshops on mineral deposits.
The 9th SGA-IUGS-SEG-UNESCO Short Course on African Metallogeny
The 9th SGA-IUGS-SEG-UNESCO Short Course on African Metallogeny "How can West Africa best use its mineral wealth for economic development" will take place between 25th and 29th November 2024 in Dakar, Senegal. The short course will use titanium, zirconium, phosphate and bauxite as examples to explore challenges and opportunities relating to mineral wealth and economic development. The 5-day short course will include 2.5 days of lectures, workshops and evening events and 2.5 days of practical training and an excursion to the Titanium sand deposits mined by Eramet and nearby mines. The short course is organised by the SGA; the SGNS (the National Geological Survey of Senegal); UNESCO; IUGS; RFG and SEG.
The first flyer for the short course is available here.
The 8th SGA-IUGS-SEG-UNESCO Short Course on African Metallogeny "The role of Mineral Wealth in the Energy Transition - Southern Africa" took place between 9-13 October 2023 in Johannesburg, South Africa. The 5-day short course was hosted by DSI-NSF-CIMERA at the University of Johannesburg. The course included 2.5 days of lectures and evening events and 2.5 days of field excursions to mine sites that have implemented renewable sustainable energies and sustainable mining equipment.
Conference information included biographies of the speakers is available here.
ReSTORE is an SGA-sponsored interdisciplinary summer school focusing on sustainable use of water energy and mineral resources in the present and future. The summer school is organised by iCRAG and IUGS and will be held in University College Dublin, Ireland from 4th-8th July 2022. The application deadline is February 1st 2022.
See the flyer for more details.
The 7th SGA-IUGS-SEG-UNESCO Short Course on African Metallogeny "Energy Metals for a Sustainable Society" took place between 29th of November and 3rd December 2021 in Windhoek, Namibia. The course was held in a hybrid format in splendid facilities at the Ministry of Mines and Energy in Windhoek. Luckily, we were able to run the entire program, 3 days of lectures and workshops followed by 2 days of fieldtrips in the region around Swakopmund. Thanks are due to the local organizers for the excellent organization.Sixty delegates and lecturers exchanged information on the critical metals for present and future applications and evaluated the so called “green” technologies. Ten foreign students attended from Western and North Africa and seventeen Namibian students participated for the first time.
The short course was organised by the SGA, the Geological Society of Namibia, the Namibian Uranium Association and the IUGS-RFG and is supported by: SGA, IUGS, SEG, and UNESCO.
See the report of the meeting for more details.
