MAREX WorkshopAggregates mining \u2013 Managing the impacts on environment and regional development<\/h2>\n

Convenor: <\/strong>Leibniz Institute of Ecological Urban and Regional Development (IOER)Location:<\/strong>Leibniz Institute of Ecological Urban and Regional Development, Dresden (IOER) (15-minute walk from Deutsches Hygiene Museum)<\/em>Time:<\/strong> 10:00-15:00Information and Registration:<\/strong> www.marex-project.de\/events.html<\/a> One important aspect of urbanization, the extraction of aggregates (sand, gavel, and stone) for building activities, is addressed in the joint German-Vietnamese project MAREX. Supported by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research and the Ministry of Science and Technology in Vietnam, the project is dealing with the extraction and processing of aggregates, and also reflecting improvements in the related fields of transport, construction, and recycling of construction and demolition waste. The capital region of Hanoi and Hoa Binh province serve as a comprehensive model for the application within and outside of Vietnam. As a side-event of the Dresden Nexus Conference 2017, the workshop provides the precious opportunity for the participants to exchange ideas with the MAREX team and to discuss challenging questions of aggregates mining for urban growth, environmental reclamation, and post-mining perspectives.
