RESTORATION NETWORKOF MINES AND QUARRIES (RMC)
It is a TECHNICAL organization, a non-profit that brings together professionals and scientists in the field of mining and restoration.
Our main STRENGTH lies in connecting the four fundamental pillars of the sector: public administration, the scientific community, mining companies, and engineering and consulting firms.
We act as an exchange platform between these pillars, facilitating collaboration and multi-directional communication.
With professionals distributed throughout Spain, we address restoration challenges locally, transcending geographical and sectoral barriers.
