Summary

Recently, there has been a massive increase in the closure of mines, which if they no longer have a use, must be liquidated according to the applicable legislation. However, foreign experience shows that deep mines in particular have considerable potential in their further use, e.g. for energy storage, waste disposal, underground laboratories, showrooms, museums, etc. Within the course, students will learn about the individual possibilities of using mining company sites, including case studies, but also with the issues associated with the termination of mining and mine liquidation.
