MIN-NOVATION Baltic Network Meeting in Örebro, Sweden, 18-21.06.2012
Monday, June 18 begins MIN-NOVATION project Baltic
Network Meeting in Örebro, Sweden. Tallinn University of Technology is
represented by TUT Mining Department professor Ingo Valgma and teaching
assistant Veiko Karu.
MIN-NOVATION is a European Union Baltic Sea Region
project “Mining and Mineral Processing Innovation Network for Small- and
Medium-sized Enterprises in Waste Technologies”. Project partners are from
Poland, Germany, Norway, Sweden, Finland and Estonia.
MIN-NOVATION
aims to create a trans-national network with regional networks as building
blocks of effective multi-lateral cooperation. The activities carried out on
the regional and transnational level will secure better access to knowledge,
state-of-the-art technologies and good practice to SMEs (small and medium
enterprices) active in the mineral waste management & prevention sector.
The project will address all the waste management challenges and opportunities
which face the Baltic Sea Region mining industry, which should be understood as
extending to all forms of extraction of natural non-renewable resources.
MIN-NOVATION Baltic network
(MBN) has set up with the essential role of facilitating diffusion of knowledge
and good practices between regions. This will involve providing transnational
feedback to regional issues, and elevating cross-regional issues to status of
transnational priority areas.
MIN-NOVATION project is part
R&D activity in Department of Mining and is related to the study of “Sustainable and environmentally
acceptable Oil shale mining”, AR12007, “Conditions
of sustainable mining”, GRANT7499 - mi.ttu.ee/ETF7499; „Backfilling
and waste management in Estonian oil shale industry“, GRANT8123 -
mi.ttu.ee/ETF8123

by Viktor Undusk from VKG
“Backfilling technologies in oil shale mines”.
Heidi Soosalu started the second part of the meeting by giving an overview talk “Mine
collapses in NE Estonia – detection, identification and causes”. Then gave Ülo Sõstra an overview talk “Tectonics
of the continental and offshore territory of Estonia and its structural
evolution in Proterozoic and Phanerozoic”. This was followed by presentations
by doctoral students Aleksander Pototski
and Merle Otsmaa.
