SUMMARY:Natural\, social and economic forced shaping the mineral industry - how will the mineral industry evolve? 2
DESCRIPTION:The course discusses the natural\, social and economic forces and events that shape the mineral industry. \nProgramme\nCourse description \nThe mineral industry is subject to \n\nits natural constraints – the characteristics of known and potential mineral deposits\, the growing complexity and increased access difficulty to mineral and energy resources and\, e.g. climate change\,\na wide variety of possible external shocks – e.g. war\, commercial conflicts\, financial crisis\, pandemics and social clashes\, and\nthe technological\, economical and social trends – including political risk\, global power shifts\, market volatility\, climate change\, circular economy\, the companies’ social responsibility and social license to operate\, the world’s population demographic and available income growth.\n\nHow will the mineral industry evolve subject to those forces and events? Rather than a traditional course\, a collaborative workshop; rather than a presentation\, a discussion – the course aims to involve the participants in discussions leading into insights of the future of the mineral industry. \nCourse contents \nThis is an introductory course with five chapters and six modules during five weeks \n\nWeek 1: Chapter 1 – Mother Nature – Minerals and Mineral deposits\, pandemics and Climate Change\,\nWeek 2: Chapter 2 – Social and Economic Trends\,\nWeek 3: Chapter 3 – Global power shifts\,\nWeek 4: Chapter 4 – Technology disruption and the rise of the machines\,\nWeek 5: Chapter 5 – New frontiers and insights into the future.\n\nThe course is designed for a weekly time investment of 1\,5 hours. Naturally\, should the participant wish to further study reading the selected bibliography made available and participating in forum discussions (see above) – which we recommend\, as it is an opportunity to learn from their peers\, the time investment is higher. This is\, however\, flexible and entirely optional. \nType of training \nThis course is designed as distance-learning. It is organized in modules along five weeks. Each module includes: \n\nPre-recorded video materials and quizzes – for independent learning.\nSelected bibliography – for independent learning.\nA weekly one-and-a-half hour live workshop\, including the presentation and discussion of the module topics. The live session will include open discussions\, work in smaller groups and the elaboration of an informal report on the theme discussed.\n\nThe course will also have a dedicated LinkedIn group for course follow-up\, exchange and discussion of ideas and course topics. \nObjectives and outcomes \nAfter the course participants will have a wide range knowledge of and be able to identify the forces shaping the mineral industry\, be they economic\, social\, technological or natural and of the main. \nParticipants will also be able to identify and characterise the development scenarios for the industry in the XXI century. \nParticipants will be able to integrate the new knowledge on the raw materials industry (and their companies and projects) into their decision-making\, policy-design or reporting processes. \nLanguage \nEnglish \nRequirements \nParticipants would require their own laptop and a stable high-speed internet connection to take part in this course. \nTarget Group\nThe course’s intended audience includes professionals\, managers\, decision-makers and post-graduate students involved in the raw materials industry and interested in discussing and get an insight into future scenarios for the mineral industry: \n\nManagers of financial institutions and funds\,\nPotential investors in raw materials projects\,\nOfficials from government (local\, state and federal) agencies and institutions\,\nMedia professionals covering the mineral industry\,\nGraduate and post-graduate geology\, mining\, mineral processing and metallurgy students\,\nManagers of mining and exploration companies.
