March 18-20, 2013: "Seafloor Mineral Resources": workshop for students

The workshop addresses the entire added value chain of marine minerals as well as environmental issues and the legal framework by bringing together international experts from all fields. We have structured the program to encourage an intensive exchange between students and experts to encourage crossdisciplinary dialogue and networking

Scientific Program:
Mining of seabed mineral deposits is one means of securing the global future demand for raw materials and will present new environmental, legal, and technical challenges. It is our aim to bring together international experts from science, industry, legal entities, and from non-government organisations for a discussion of submarine mineral resources trying to find the right balance between protection and use of the ocean‘s non-living resources.
