This year we celebrate Oulu Mining School 10 years!

Oulu Mining School (OMS), a research unit operating at the Faculty of Technology, University of Oulu, integrates scientific disciplines along the value chain from exploration to mining and mineral processing.

Significance of research and education in mining and exploration has emphasized during recent years due to the openings of new mines and increased production of minerals and metals.

OMS gathers core disciplines of mining value chain at the geosciences, geophysics, mining engineering and mineral processing sectors. The unit provides the only mining engineering program in Finland, and has an unique mini-scale mineral processing factory in their premises.

For the honor of successful mining field research and education, we arrange Oulu Mining School Gala Week 16.-20.9.2024!
