SERVICES
What do we offer?
Training activities will be organized to include technical, economic, and social aspects of different mining restoration models. Delivered by national and international experts.
Types of activities: courses, master classes, theoretical-practical workshops. Some of these activities include visits to restoration projects proposed by Network members.
Technical topics: geomorphological restoration, soil restoration, revegetation, hydrology, circular economy, planting techniques, biodiversity, landscape, etc.
Cross-cutting topics: evaluation and certification systems; monitoring; ecosystem services (carbon capture and storage, aquifer recharge, pollination, fauna, etc.), public participation, social impact.
At least one training activity will be organized per year, with the topic selected by the association’s members. Additionally, entities may request specific training for their employees.
The Network is an essential meeting point for mining companies, consultancies, administrations, universities, associations, and other key stakeholders in the field of mining restoration. We strive to provide a space where all these participants can collaborate and mutually benefit.
We offer a unique platform that facilitates communication, knowledge exchange, and collaboration among the different stakeholders in mining restoration.
This includes promoting best practices, addressing common challenges, accessing up-to-date information, and creating sustainable development opportunities in the mining industry.
In summary, our association acts as a catalyst for growth and continuous improvement of mining restoration by bringing together those involved in it.
The Network offers a COLLABORATIVE PLATFORM for transfer, where universities, companies, administrations, and other stakeholders share needs and evaluate solutions, fostering an enriching dialogue among the sector’s diverse actors.
The active collaboration of all key stakeholders enables us to facilitate an exchange of knowledge, technologies, and best practices that is essential for driving sustainable mining restoration.
Through workshops, conferences, and seminars, we facilitate the flow of information and solutions, enabling our members to stay updated on the latest trends and advances in mining restoration.
Additionally, the Network has the firm purpose of organizing the first Mining Restoration Congress in Spain, where experts and professionals will share the results of restoration practices. This congress will foster the creation and transfer of knowledge in this field at an international level, providing a broad vision of restoration from technical, economic, legal, and scientific excellence.
We have a NETWORK OF EXPERTS ready to advise companies and administrations on various aspects of mining restoration. Our mission is to provide specialized guidance to achieve successful and sustainable restoration projects from environmental, social, and economic perspectives. The Network, in a collaborative manner, will facilitate interaction among members, sharing needs and proposing solutions to specific problems.
Members may formally request, on a paid basis, advice on specific aspects:
- Selection of the most appropriate techniques for restoration, taking into account the location and specific conditions.
- Monitoring and tracking systems to evaluate the progress and impact of restoration projects.
- Identification of areas for improvement and opportunities to optimize the restoration process.
- Development of long-term strategies for mining restoration, considering technical, economic, and environmental aspects.
- Conception and design of restoration projects, taking into account available best practices.
Through the platform, relevant technical and scientific documentation on mining restoration will be compiled, facilitating the processes of identifying and selecting the best techniques and their evaluation.
The Network offers:
- Repository of scientific-technical documentation
- Compilation of Best Available Techniques (BAT)
- Compilation and updating of Evaluation Guides for mining restoration
- Repository of applicable regulations
- Map of successful restorations
The Network is organized into Working Groups (WG), created at the request of members and upon approval by the Board, which appoints a coordinator for each group.
We have established Working Groups where you can share your difficulties, problems, experience, and knowledge to achieve solutions among all stakeholders involved in the solution.
The main working groups are:
- Scientific-Technical WG
- Economic-Social WG
- Regulatory WG
- Dissemination WG
The Network represents a public-private collaboration environment in the field of mining restoration, identifying the needs of the sector. It brings together multidisciplinary experts who enhance research and act as a driving force to address significant technical and scientific challenges.
In a broader context, collaboration between public and private stakeholders plays a fundamental role in advancing knowledge in mining restoration. The Network, in addition to facilitating joint projects, also plays an important role in identifying funding sources, providing advice to drive research and innovation in this field.
The Network stands as a leader in RDI in mining restoration; the services offered include project proposals, participation in consortia, access to research results and specialized information. These services consolidate its position as a catalyst for innovation, ensuring the broad and accessible dissemination of the benefits of research in mining restoration.
The Network has designed an ambitious Communication Plan with the firm purpose of highlighting mining restoration actions that have proven efficient in mitigating the environmental and social impacts derived from mining activity in natural environments.
To achieve this objective, the Network commits to active participation in relevant events and meetings (Dialogue Tables), where it will establish itself as an interest group focused on promoting excellence in mining restoration. This approach will not only allow associated entities to gain recognition for their efforts in this area, but will also make visible research, development, and innovation projects that are revolutionizing the restoration of mining areas.
As an integral part of our communication commitment, we plan to publish results and best practices in specialized journals of a technical and scientific nature. This will enable knowledge sharing with the scientific community and will contribute to the dissemination of lessons learned in the field of mining restoration, fostering the widespread adoption of more sustainable approaches in the mining industry.
The Network will produce a newsletter with the main developments and news relevant to members.
The Network, through the joint work of its members, aims to initiate a collaborative process of great importance: the definition of RESTORATION STANDARDS and mining rehabilitation that will pave the way toward mining restoration certification. Recognizing the need for sustainable management of mining activities, this joint effort brings together experts, companies, administrations, and other stakeholders in a crucial task for the future of the industry.
These standards will not only raise the quality of restoration practices, but will also enable companies to demonstrate their commitment to environmental and social responsibility, which in turn will increase public trust.
The certification of mining restoration will be an important milestone on our path toward a more responsible mining sector.
Our association is proud to lead this effort toward a more promising future for mining and the environment.
