After consultations with CCO about our idea that complementary CEEPUS networks should collaborate much closer, Prof. Sibila Borojević Šoštarić, local coordinator of both EURO Geo-Sci and RAMSIS networks, initiated an online meeting with Ms. Maraielena Murphy (on behalf of RAMSIS network), Prof. Kristina Šarić (as network coordinator of EURO Geo-Sci and on behalf of local coordinator of RAMSIS) and Ms. Tanja Veljak (Croatian NCO). The main aim of the meeting was to try to find a way to help RAMSIS to move out from an umbrella to a ‘sunny’ (active) status.
We all found very useful to make a closer cooperation between EURO Geo-Sci and RAMSIS. Merging all the capacities of the participating units of these two networks and integrating fundamental and applied geological and mining disciplines that exist at both networks, would ensure a more efficient use of CEEPUS funds and therewith produce stronger contribution of geological and mining knowledge to the society.
