Erasmus+ is the EU's programme to support education, training, youth and sport. The programme provide opportunities for students, researchers and institutions. The activities supported under the Erasmus+ Program are mainly grouped under three Key Actions (KA) and a Special Action called as Jean Monnet.KA1 is “Learning Mobility for the Individuals”, while KA2 is “Cooperation Among Organisations and Institutions”. The KA2 supports universities to produce “more attractive education and training programmes, participatory approaches and digital methodologies, newcomer curricula, more strategic and integrated use of ICTs and open educational resources and so on”. Thus, with a budget of €28.4 billion, the program supports work in areas that not only Europe but also the world needs. Undoubtedly, some of these areas are geology, mining and mineral processing. Therefore, I would like to introduce you some of my projects that have been supported, especially in the field of mining and mineral processing, to show how you can turn your similar ideas into projects. I will also share information on why and how we need to attract more young people to the field of mining and geology, where there will be a gray tsunami. I will also share with you details about “HoloGEM” and “DigiRescueMe” Projects, including search and rescue in mines, occupational health and safety in mining and mineral processing, green mining, VR-AR applications in mining. As a result, I will present you approaches that give you the opportunity to realize your ideas with international partnerships.
