A School of Surface Mining? We will!

Anita is heading to Wisła. From 4 to 6 September, she will be taking part in the jubilee (tenth!) edition of the School of Surface Mining conference organised by the Stanisław Staszic AGH University of Science and Technology in Kraków. One of this year’s issues to be discussed at the conference will include safe mining of minerals and minimising natural hazards, as well as obtaining environmental decisions – a topic Anita has a keen interest in.

The conference will feature the experiences of mining companies on phytoremediation, natural diversity in industrial areas and the reduction of pollution from fugitive emissions, including light emissions.

“The latter issue is usually heavily downplayed in analyses of emissions from industrial facilities. I am curious to hear the experiences of investors in this area,” says Anita Kuliś, board member of Sotis Advisors.

What else will we hear during the School of Surface Mining? Several papers on the legal aspects of conducting mining activities with public participation. Not insignificant is the role of ESG (environment – social responsibility – corporate governance) in the energy transition process and experiences from Germany. The papers cover technical as well as environmental, legal and social issues. Aggregate and lignite mines, scientists, representatives of the administration, lawyers and technology suppliers will present their experiences.
