      Upcoming Self-Paced Courses

      We are excited to expand our course offerings soon with a range of topics that cater to diverse professional needs. Planned courses include the PERC Reporting Standard, public affairs with Maureen Gallagher, GIS remote sensing with Dr. Arda Arcasoy, and the Azores Council Meeting EuroWorkshop sessions. For those interested in cutting-edge topics, we’re introducing a course on “Machine Learning for Geoscientists,” designed to explore digital transformation applications in mining, as well as an Environmental Geochemistry workshop tailored to the mine project lifecycle. Also, a comprehensive course on hydrogen exploration with Dr. Isabelle Moretti will provide insights into H2 accumulations in the subsurface, ideal for energy professionals. Stay tuned for updates and join us in these self-paced learning opportunities as we build out this vital knowledge hub.
