Jon, Amanda and I had an excellent pub lunch today with Diana Drinkwater, the Technical Programme Manager for the JKTech, Brisbane. and the first woman to be elected to the International Mineral Processing Council (posting of 16th October).
Diana had travelled all the way from Brisbane to Falmouth for a 2-day meeting at Camborne School of Mines. She was representing the JKTech on the Sandwik SIMS programme. In this post-graduate programme Sandwik provides academic support for over 20 research projects per year, developing a cohort of high performing key staff with effective networking and shared technical skills. The aim is to provide participants with a well founded academic and job oriented specialisation and intensified education in the field of raw materials extraction and all associated scientific disciplines with regard to international standards and practices.
