Event Details
MEMSA is hosting a webinar in partnership with the Technology Innovation Agency (TIA), an agency of the Department of Science and Innovation. The webinar will provide an overview of TIA and its offerings, and is aimed to elaborate on TIA's latest funding initiative. This initiative calls for proposals focusing on innovative research and development (R&D) in mining technologies, in the following focus areas:
- Mining - strategic use of minerals for climate change, modernisation of mining, digitisation using AI, deep learning, and machine learning.
- Water sustainability – digitization of water operations to improve the efficiencies of water infrastructure, water leaks and climate adaption technologies.
The Q&A sessions will allow members ample opportunity to raise any questions with regard to the funding and Call for Proposals.
