The PDAC conference was held for the 90th time this year. This event is one of the most prestigious conferences in the field of raw material exploration / extraction and mining. The conference was held in a hybrid form: from June 13-15, 2022, Toronto, Canada, hosted the event in person, while the online part of the conference was held from June 28-29, 2022. Three of our students attended the conference online with a poster:
- Lívia Leskóné Majoros: „Comparison of critical mineral and element content of black schists fom NE-Hungary”
- Csilla Balassa: „HFSE enrichment in Bükk Mts., NE-Hungary – Geochemistry and mineral composition”
- Mohamed Badawi: „Structural evaluation and mapping of hydrothermal alteration in the Fatira-Abu Zawal area of the Eastern Desert, Egypt”
The abstracts of the Students are available here:

This year’s special feature will be the special “miner” competition (Milling, Gold Washing, Selective Pendulum, Beer / Water Pumping, Soil Drilling, Earth History Time Jump, etc.), in which our teams can compete. The best performers can get valuable prizes (Thanks to Our Industrial Partners).
You can find out more about the Miner’s Sports Day (team application, Sports Day T-shirt order, more information) at the Facebook.
Our outstanding students have been awarded Academic Honorary Medals.
We wish you more successes in the future! Congratulations!
The European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT) and its Raw Materials Section (EIT RawMaterials) support the ENGIE project, which aims to attract female high school students (13-18 years old) to engineering sciences. They are working to improve gender balance in these areas.
The project is a collaboration between 25 institutions from 21 European countries, launched in January 2020 and will run for three years. The project is coordinated by the Institute of Mineralogy and Geology of the MF Faculty, University of Miskolc, personally by Dr. Éva Hartai. honorary university professor. Another expert from Miskolc, Dr. Anna Farkas, a secondary school teacher (Herman Ottó High School) also works in the Advisory Board.
The project has recently been awarded the title of ‘EIT Success Story’, which is a major recognition and can only be awarded to an outstandingly successful activity. From now on, the project will receive special communication attention through the EIT channels.
The coordinator of the project, Honorary Professor Éva Hartai, was nominated by the Raw Materials Section for the ‘EIT Women Leadership Award’. A decision on the nomination will be made in September.
