How to improve the safety of tailing management facilities (TMF)? The answers will be investigated by a multinational project, in which the University of Ostrava and the Union of Towns and Municipalities of the Czech Republic will be involved

Places where metals ores or solid fuels were mined and processed in the past do not remain completely without consequences. So-called tailings ponds are formed on them, in which hazardous waste is often stored. There are many such places in Europe. And that's why the international project SAFETY4TMF was launched.

Construction of the LERCO scientific research hub started

Construction of the building for the "smarter" region has begun. Professor Roman Hájek, the main face of the Life Environment Research Center Ostrava (LERCO), ceremonially laid the foundation stone together with the Rector of the University of Ostrava, Petr Kopecký, the governor of the Moravian-Silesian Region, Jan Krkoška, the mayor of Ostrava, Jan Dohnal, and the Dean of the UO Faculty of Medicine, Rastislav Maďar. The construction, costing nearly 700 million Czech crowns, is part of a strategic project aimed at significantly advancing the UO in the field of science. The construction should be completed in 2026, with the project operating at full capacity in the same year. The overall cost of LERCO is around 1.8 billion Czech crowns.
