Marco Legal, Análisis de Riesgos, Planificación Detallada, Evaluación de la Estabilidad
Física, Geológica y Control de las Emisiones Ácidas en Proyectos de Cierre de Minas
Válido para Exploración, Operaciones Superficiales y Subterráneas

 

 

La minería como actividad dedicada a la extracción de recursos que alberga un yacimiento, tiene un período de vida limitado, tras finalizar el ciclo productivo ya sea de un sector o de toda la mina, se debe poner en marcha el Plan de Cierre de la instalación. Los planes de cierre para operaciones actuales como para instalaciones abandonadas (pasivos) van desde el desmantelamiento y demolición de aquellas instalaciones que no tengan ninguna posibilidad de aprovechamiento y puedan suponer la alteración o deterioro del entorno, hasta el cierre y acondicionamiento de estructuras e instalaciones fuera de uso con vistas a eliminar los riesgos de accidentes y las fuentes generadoras de contaminación de suelos y aguas.

En la actualidad las propuestas de planes de cierre van acompañadas de operaciones de reciclado y de aprovechamiento de residuos e instalaciones, a fin de minimizar los volúmenes de almacenamiento final y de controlar las emisiones contaminantes. Para asegurar la viabilidad técnica, económica y medioambiental de los planes de cierre, éstos deben realizarse con las mejores técnicas disponibles (MTD), empleando tecnologías limpias en las que se utilicen a ser posibles materiales del lugar.

Debido a que el problema de agua es un aspecto importante en una operación minera y sobre todo en la etapa de cierre y post cierre de un proyecto minero, en el curso también se desarrolla a detalle técnicas y metodologías para la caracterización geoquímica de los residuos mineros (desmontes y relaves) y las alternativas de tratamientos de las aguas de mina que han contactado con los distintos componentes mineros, tanto durante la etapa de operación como para los efluentes residuales en la etapa de cierre cuya remediación puede ser viable mediante la aplicación de sistemas de tratamientos pasivos.

Este curso de especialización le dará a conocer en detalle la normatividad vigente, planeamiento detallado, evaluación de la estabilidad física, geológica y control de las emisiones ácidas en Proyectos de Cierre de Minas, tanto superficiales como subterráneas.

 

 

OBJETIVOS:

Dar a conocer en detalle, temas técnico-legales que van desde la formulación del plan de cierre y pasivos, seguido de la descripción de componentes mineros y control de la estabilidad física y química de los componentes, gestión del agua durante la operación y cierre, desarrollo de actividades de rehabilitación y restauración, monitoreo durante la operación y el post cierre, estimación de los costos directos e indirectos del presupuesto de cierre.

 

METODOLOGÍA:

  • Este curso se transmitirá en directo, no es una grabación

  • Usted podrá preguntar directamente al Expositor y despejar sus dudas

  • El curso tiene una orientación práctica y aplicativa, se explicará paso a paso todos los puntos del temario

IJCB 2026 – Sclera Segmentation Benchmarking Competition (Foundation Models & Label-efficient learning)

CALL FOR PARTICIPANTS  SSBC 2026

********************************************************
10th Sclera Segmentation Benchmarking Competition 2026 (SSBC)
Foundation Models and VLMs & Label-efficient Learning
Held in conjunction with IEEE IJCB 2026
https://ijcb2026.ieee-biometrics.org/

Important dates: Registration is open now
Website: https://sites.google.com/hyderabad.bits-pilani.ac.in/ssbc2026/home

********************************************************
We are inviting all researchers and research teams to participate in our new Sclera Segmentation challenge, which focuses on Foundation Models and VLMs, as well as on label-efficient segmentation approaches.
All participants (above baseline) will coauthor the joint IJCB paper. The results submission deadline is expected by mid-May 2026.
SSBC 2026 addresses the theme of “Sclera segmentation in the age of foundation models and large multi-modal models”, as well as label-efficient learning. It is organised as a two-track competition. Participants are free to enter only a single track or compete in both. A detailed description of the two tracks is given below:
  • Track 1: Foundation Models & VLMs. In this track, we aim to benchmark the performance of sclera segmentation approaches based on Foundation Models and VLMs. Participants will submit solutions that integrate large multi-modal models into biometric segmentation pipelines. We specifically encourage grounding approaches, in which textual or auxiliary prompts guide the segmentation, or novel architectures built on top of FMs/VLMs. Results will be compared against standard lighter-weight segmentation models provided by the organisers.
  • Track 2: Label-Efficient Learning. The second track will focus on semi-supervised, weakly-supervised, and self-supervised learning approaches. Participants will be challenged to train models capable of learning from incomplete or no labels, addressing the critical issue of data scarcity in medical and biometric imaging. To maintain fairness during evaluation, participants may be required to submit their models and training code, which the organisers will test using a flat protocol for the segmentation task.
To enter the competition, visit the website and follow the registration instructions: https://sites.google.com/hyderabad.bits-pilani.ac.in/ssbc2026/home

Multimodal Alignment for a Pluralistic Society (MAPS) Workshops @ CVPR 2026

Dear colleagues,

We are excited to announce the Multimodal Alignment for a Pluralistic Society (MAPS) workshop at CVPR 2026, featuring an outstanding lineup of speakers. This workshop will bring together researchers from CV, NLP, HCI, social sciences, and humanities, recognizing that pluralistic multimodal AI systems demand both technical expertise and an understanding of human values.

We invite you to:

  1. Participate in our challenge. We host a challenge on Machine Translation for Vision, which focuses on adapting images to fit different cultures while keeping their meaning. We offer two tracks: open (using open-sourced models only) and proprietary (any use of proprietary models). More details on the dataset and the task can be found in the paper, which won the Best Paper award at EMNLP 2024! The challenge will be hosted on Hugging Face challenges. The results of the challenges and winning entries will be presented at the workshop. Participate here: https://huggingface.co/spaces/cmu-lti/MachineTranslationforVision 

Start date: March 3, 2026

End date: April 10, 2026

  1. Submit your papers of up to 4 pages that discuss but are not limited to identifying effective evaluation tasks, benchmarks, and metrics to assess cultural awareness and alignment in VLMs; new methodology for improving cultural authenticity, pluralism, and fairness of AI systems; and new techniques for capturing multiple cultural perspectives and building multimodal models that can amplify underrepresented communities and handle low-resource data at scale.

Start date: March 3, 2026

End date: April 10, 2026

Submit via OpenReview: https://openreview.net/group?id=thecvf.com/CVPR/2026/Workshop/MAPS
