The programme invites applicants from government authorities involved in permitting and inspecting mines such as environmental protection agencies, mining inspectorates, mine safety departments or equivalents.
The applicants should have an academic background and work duties that involve participation in permitting or inspection of mines or management of such processes.

Project managers, economists or other experts that actively contribute to the agency’s core functions are also encouraged to apply. We aim for a balanced mix of participants and genders in the ITP 308, and encourage organisations to nominate both men and women for application.
Applicants should propose change projects that have a direct bearing on the management of mine waste and mine water. The applicants should preferably propose common change projects.
