We're delighted to highlight the important engagement work that took place at the Irish National Ploughing Championships in Co. Laois recently. We look forward to sharing the results of Lucy Blennerhassett and colleagues fantastic research! #criticalrawmaterials #engagement #ploughingchampionship #geoscience #publicengagement

Today we are reflecting on a successful Society of Economic Geology (SEG) and the South African Geophysical Association (SAGA) conferences in Windhoek, Namibia. Many of our consortium members were in attendance to showcase their work on the project and to discuss their findings with colleagues. We really enjoyed the opportunity to reconnect with colleagues and make further plans to ensure that VECTOR research has a positive impact across the world. #SEG2024 Society of Economic Geologists SOUTH AFRICAN GEOPHYSICAL ASSOCIATION #geology #minerals #conference

One of the VECTOR contributions at #SEG2024. Well done Yonghwi Kim

📢 New Paper Alert!! Hyperspectral imaging data has huge applications in minerals exploration, especially early in the exploration workflow where it could enhance geological logging, constrain better sampling strategies or inform drilling decisions. To help realise this potential, we have developed an open-source framework that allows the real-time processing and interactive visualisation of hyperspectral drillcore scanning data -- delivering interactive results within minutes of data acquisition. We hope that this new research helps industry, government and academia realise the true potential of hyperspectral core scanning technology. Congratulations to Sam Thiele, Moritz Kirsch, Richard Gloaguen, and the Helmholtz Institute Freiberg for Resource Technology (HIF) at HZDR team on your success and publication!

VECTOR recently sponsored the 3rd ReSToRE (Researching Social Theories, Resources, and Environment) International Summer School, which was hosted by University College Dublin earlier in July. The summer school drew from the social sciences, humanities, and natural and physical sciences to examine how we might transition to a low-carbon society in ways that are socially acceptable, economically affordable, and technically feasible. Restore had a truly global representation with a total of 26 countries represented of which 18 developing countries, which encourage interdisciplinary and global discussion on how to reconcile different views about Earth’s resources. Some talks that were given at the summer school will contribute to the webinar series on the VECTOR website. All webinars published to date can be found at https://lnkd.in/e4jdci8b. #resources #naturalscience #socialscience #geoscience #summerschool

Are you looking to better understand the role of education in achieving a more sustainable future and how you might be able to bring sustainability issues into your classroom or workplace?   We are delighted to announce the publication of VECTOR’s Global Education Pathway!    Resulting from our research in Italy and Bulgaria the Global Education Pathway has been designed to highlight the role of education in achieving sustainability and the European Green Deal, as well as a guide for educators interested in empowering students to become informed and proactive global citizens.   Featuring two rings, the inner ring illustrates the complexities of integrating critical sustainability issues into education, while the outer ring offers practical strategies for educators to navigate these challenges.    All of these resources are held on our project website which can be accessed through the link here: https://lnkd.in/eVFU6wZJ, or found in the VECTOR Portal.   Contact us through this account or via contact@vectorproejct.eu to learn more about the pathway.   #education #sustainability #criticalminerals #learning #teaching #curriculum

Today we are reflecting on the successful general assembly held in Seville, last week, for the VECTOR Project. Over two days, project members from all six work packages met to discuss progress made to date and to plan the next steps in our research to deliver impactful results. Across several workshops we strengthened collaboration within the project and identified new opportunities to further support each other's research contributions. Following the project's midterm reporting period, we are excited to begin sharing with you the research outputs from the project. #EUHorizon #Sustainability #Geology #Mining
