NESMI - Background

• The mining and minerals industry has significant
  importance for the European economy
• In the Eastern European countries our industry
  sector has additional high importance for the
  employment.
• Nearly all branches of the European industries
  directly or indirectly use mining products.
• Due to the global competitiveness, the arising
  problems in all mining branches need to be
  pointed out and resolved.

NESMI Acting inside Europe, open to the world

Problems of common RTD activities

• Parallel development of techniques, processes and
  products often occurs due to similar problems in
  different mining areas
• Small and medium-size companies do often not have
  access to important research programmes
• Building up of knowledge is too slow
• Research transfer into production is too slow
• Effective involvement of supplementary sectors is
  not taking place
• Concentration on main topics is not given
• The dissemination of results is inefficient
• Research efforts do not yield ecological aspects

8
NESMI Priority objective

• The priority objective of NESMI is to establish
  and develop European networking for the mining
  and mineral processing industries,
• considering - different mining regions
• - different mining branches
• by participation of - producers
• - suppliers
• - research organisations
• - universities and associations.

Technical achievements
Questionnaire

• General purpose
• Survey of competence and demand situation in
  various fields related to the sector to obtain
  valuable information as basis for developing a
  RTD strategy
• Asked Basic information on organisation,
  research budget and implemented RTD
  strategies Demand and Competence in various
  fields ranked from 0 to 10 Particular questions
  related to our different WP
• Personalised data
• Participation?? -gt Not as much as expected!!!
• Current number of entries 43 (only)
• Consequence Pushing partners inside the network
  as well as outside

Technical achievements
RTD strategy

• RTD situation (information on ongoing and
  recently finished projects)
• Analysis of competence/demand situation
  (questionnaire and evaluation)
• Research pathfinder(entry point to new projects)
• Observing political discussion
• Implementing future trends

Our RTD strategy must be dynamic and up-to-date
43
Conclusions and next steps

• Administrative matters have to be regarded
  carefully
• Dissemination activities were very successful so
  far -gt Continue and probably improve
• RTD strategy
• Questionnaire not regarded and used enough, far
  more input needed
• Research pathfinder needs more input
• We will be successful in developing a suitable
  RTD strategy for our sector
• The future of NESMI???

44
Conclusions and next steps
There will be something as follow-upof NESMI
We will continue to keep track for the benefitof
our sector!!
