How can sustainable digitization be achieved in post-mining? What approaches are already being pursued today? How can legacy data and modern geodata be combined in a tailored manner?

These questions will be the focus of the upcoming symposium „Nachbergbauzeit NRW – Digitalisierung trifft Tradition“ (“Post-mining era North Rhine-Westphalia – digitalization meets tradition”)

North Rhine-Westphalia used to be a traditional mining region, but today it is a post-mining region that is using its wealth of experience and new knowledge to deal with the traces of intensive raw material extraction in the past. Find out how this is being achieved at the symposium „Nachbergbauzeit NRW – Digitalisierung trifft Tradition“. This event is dedicated to the challenges and opportunities that digitalization offers in the field of post-mining.

The conference offers experts from various fields the opportunity to exchange ideas on current developments and learn from each other. Experts from business, science, and administration will present practical solutions and demonstrate how technological progress can be used in harmony with traditional methods to sustainably manage post-mining landscapes. In addition to exciting presentations and discussion panels, there will also be opportunities for networking to work together on the future of digitalization in post-mining.

We look forward to welcoming you to this special event on March 20, 2025, and joining you in looking ahead to the future of the post-mining era in North Rhine-Westphalia.
