Created as a forum connecting people to shape the future of Canadian mining education and research, the Canadian Mining Schools Academic Committee (CMSAC) seeks to inspire lifelong learning, advance knowledge and strengthen Canadian mining educational institutes. The CMSAC is involved in promoting education in mining engineering; facilitating communication and exchange between Canadian mining schools; encouraging technology transfer efforts through workshops and seminars; liaising with national, international and non-profit organizations such as MAC, MiHR and the Society of Mining Professors; liaising with government funding agencies; supporting the organization of international conferences and symposiums; recognizing excellence in mining education and research; and promoting CIM membership to academics and students.
