Sustainable researchCreating a world worth living in - through knowledge and technology

The state-of-the-art laboratories of THGA are used to create intelligent high-tech materials or ideas for sustainable extraction and processing of mineral resources and for Industry 4.0. And the university bears witness to its tradition: our Research Center of Post-Mining revises the know-how accumulated over decades and centuries to meet the challenges of a post-mining world today. The following pages provide an overview of our projects.

Department of Geo-Resources and Process Engineering

Our projects deal with the entire process of value creation, from exploring deposits through extraction methods protecting the environment to mastering the impact of post-mining.
