Roussos G Dimitrakopoulos

Prof. Dimitrakopoulos has conducted over 60 professional development short courses internationally (Australia, North America, South America, Europe, the Middle East, Japan, and South Africa), including Universities (UT Clausthal, University of Toronto, University of Tokyo, University of Athens, University of Witwatersrand, University of Chile, Ecole des Mines de Paris) and, on a regular basis, for professional mining organizations such as the Society for Mining Engineering Metallurgy and Exploration (SME), Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (CIM) and the Australasian Institute of Mining (AusIMM).

New
McGill Certification Program in “Ore Reserve Risk and Mine Planning Optimization: - CENG 222, 16 Continuing Education Units.

Offered in 2008 and 2010, this Certification program is used to transfers new methods, technologies and approaches my research efforts have produced over the last decade to mining engineering professionals. In 2010, it is attended by 15 participants (3 remote) from Colombia, Mexico, Brazil, Angola, South Africa, Australia, Canada, and the US. For 2008, please see CCE, VOL 02, NO 02, the Bridge, fall 2008.

Recent short courses attract an average of 22 participants, are usually three days long (24 hours of contact) and include computer workshops.
