The ZuWaKo project partners met at the TU Bergakademie Freiberg in Saxony from July 9-10, 2024. We discussed the status and next steps of the PhD projects and made progress with the joint simulation game and the “Futurescape Navigator” web application. Many good ideas were developed in a constructive exchange. We also had the very special pleasure of visiting the Freiberg silver mine. Geologist Jens Kugler, technical and tourist manager of the mine, gave us an exclusive and impressive guided tour of the interplay between water and mining (“friend and foe”) over the centuries.
