About the department

Objective

The Mining Department of KIVI wants to appeal to those who have an affinity with the discipline of 'Technical Earth Sciences' (formerly called 'Mining Science' and 'Mining and Petroleum Extraction'). The department wants to emphasise the breadth of study and leave the depth to departmental subdivisions of KIVI.

The Mining Department tries to keep alive both the history and the future of that field of study. It does so by pursuing close cooperation with the 'Earth Sciences Cultural Heritage Foundation' and with the 'Mining Association'.

When composing the board of the mining subsection, the aim is therefore to recruit a board member from both the aforementioned foundation and the aforementioned association.
