There is a strong demand for mining engineers and mining education in Estonia because of important role of oil shale mining for the Estonia’s and Baltic economy. Estonia has lots of other minerals currently being mined or being mineable, too, e.g. limestone, dolomite, phosphate, peat. Tallinn UT educates mining engineers and applied geologists. Especially mining engineers must have a global overview about mineral excavation technologies and environmental impacts of mining. In order to achieve this goal and to improve the mining engineering and applied geologists education in Estonia, trips to international mining sites are necessary. As the world biggest lignite mining country is Germany a very attractive destination for a student excursion. Moreover, Germany is selected because it has long mining history, a great number of large surface and underground mines, many world-leading companies for constructing mining machinery, well developed relations between TU Bergakademie Freiberg and Tallinn UT.
During the trip are introduced to students coal, salt and ore mines; companies for mining equipment and machinery; also relations between Tallinn UT and TU Bergakademie Freiberg are strengthened. The trip will increase student’s competence and knowledge about practical aspects of German mining industry.
