Workshop "Underwater mining impact assessment"
The UNDERWATER MINING IMPACT ASSESSMENT: ENLIGHTENING THE FUTURE workshop is a session open to the community that will take place on January 19, at 9:30 am, in a hybrid format.
As part of the kick-off meeting of the TRIDENT project, this session will have as speakers experts in the different dimensions in which the evaluation of the impact of activities in the deep sea touches.
The TRIDENT project, proposed with 16 million euros, partially funded by the European Commission, aims to develop technology to assess the impact of activities in the deep sea. Led by INESC TEC, this pioneering work intends to advance with the development of technology so that it is possible to evaluate, minimize and supervise any exploration action that may arise in the future.
