This year edition was organized by KGHM Cuprum and during it a celebration of 25 years of Ore Processing Plants (ZWR) in KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. took place. The Head of ZWR Paweł Piwowar was awarded during the inaugural plenary session so were also other notable ZWR workers. Furthermore, scientists who cooperated with ZWR since a long time were awarded too. It is worthy to underline that among them were two AGH representatives – Prof. Barbara Tora and Assoc.

DigiRescueMe

At the same time, a parallel special scientific session within DigiRescueMe project was held where AGH University of Science and Technology is a partner. The project became an official partner of MEC 2023 conference. The meeting was an opportunity to propagate the realized project. The session was organized in hybrid system. Apart from debate in one of Hotel Gołębiewski’s rooms an online transmission took place through You Tube and MS Teams platforms. Generally, around 50 persons took part in the session in stationary way and about 150 persons were present online. The session was conducted by Assoc. Prof. Tomasz Niedoba and Dr. Zbigniew Kuczera. During the proceedings the Project’s coordinator Prof. Oktay Şahbaz from  Kütahya Dumlupinar University had speech presenting the assumptions and the results of so far realized part of the project. The next speaker was Szymon Łagosz from GIG Research Institute. He presented the results of the other project implementing VR technique in education. Next, the growing role of technology in education including computer simulations was underlined by Piotr Buffi from JSW Szkolenie i Górnictwo telling that it has more and more practical implementation and that this role will be growing. Another speech was presented by Zbigniew Kubica, Head of the District Mining Rescue Station in Jaworzno. He presented the existing offer of trainings directed to future mining rescuers. It concerns all aspects of the rescue education where simulation exercises are very important without direct health hazard for trained person. The proceedings were ended with the presentation of Dariusz Michalak from Mining Technique Institute KOMAG in Gliwice. He presented the possibilities of applying modern toolsand methods in both vocational and higher education of students of practical technical specializations.

It is worthy to underline that a large group of disciples from Group of Technical Schools in Rybnik took part in the proceedings who are potential receivers of the DigiRescueMe project’s effects. Both MEC 2023 and special session of DigiRescueMe were very successful and the proceedings were fruitful. The next meeting within the project will be held in July, in Portugal.
