WORLDWIDE CONCERN<br />
University courses are shrinking or closing around the world.<br />
• Over the past 20 years, at least 20 programmes have closed.<br />
• This represents 30% of the total courses available in the countries from<br />
which the major industry typically recruits.<br />
• Mineral processing / metallurgy courses did follow a similar trend.<br />
• Geology courses have been less affected.<br />
• SHORTAGE HUNDREDS <strong>OF</strong> ENGINEERS/YEAR FOR NEXT 10 YEARS<br />
• COOPERATION ESSENTIAL<br />

EU RELATION<br />
• Erasmus Mundus since 2004<br />
• Consortium of >3 universities<br />
• Students spend time at each partner<br />
• Open to EU and non EU students<br />
• EU supplies scholarships for non EU students<br />
• EMMEP was pilot project for E.M. in 1996 (ranked 1 st )<br />
• Despite 10 years proven experience, three times proposal<br />
rejected<br />
• Mining not fashionable enough (like nano technology, etc)<br />
• Mining not environmentally friendly (technical subjects<br />
should be replaced by environmental awareness subjects<br />
28 October 2006 29
EMMEP / INDUSTRY RESEARCH<br />
• 60-70 M.Sc. thesis projects per year<br />
• 5 to 8 projects at each university<br />
• 6 to 9 months projects<br />
• M.Sc. students to support Ph.D. students<br />
• Structured research desirable<br />
• Centres of excellence<br />
• Individual universities<br />
• Combinations<br />

FUTURE<br />
• If nothing is done, EXTINCTION<br />
• Importance of good relation between universities and<br />
companies for education will continue to be important<br />
• Initiatives like these “Keep Coal” days organised by<br />
DSK are excellent<br />
• “Keep Coal” shows clearly to the outside world that<br />
both the mining industry and the mining education are<br />
very much alive.<br />
