SUPARS
2025 is a unique development program for professionals in all areas of UPC. It
provides participants with a holistic view of the entire UPC, develops their
capabilities, improves their communication skills, and enables them to become
experts with broader knowledge of the entire field.
The
training course is designed as a comprehensive set of interconnected
professional lessons, technical visits and excursions with practical training
to provide participants with the best possible overview of the issue of safe
uranium mining. The comprehensive and extraordinary four-week training course
addressing uranium geology, exploration, safe uranium production, environmental
remediation and radiation safety consists of 40 expert lectures given by
international experts and 9 full day field trips (uranium sites in the
Czech Republic and Germany) and technical visits (leading institutions in
geology, geophysics, radiation safety) with expert interpretation and practical
training.
Training fee: before June 15, 2025 – 5 700,-
EUR (incl. VAT)
after June 15, 2025 – 5 950,- EUR (incl. VAT)
