At the Conference Centre of the Theological Faculty of the University of Silesia in Katowice, a meeting of the Committee on Geology and Mining of the Silesian Union of Municipalities and Districts was held with the participation of representatives of the Central Mining Institute - State Research Institute. The meeting was devoted to a presentation of the PoMHaz project on comprehensive assessment of hazards in post-mining areas in the context of spatial planning. The results of the project to date were presented by Małgorzata Wysocka and Piotr Gruchlik.
The participants of this meeting - about 40 persons - were numerous representatives of departments dealing with issues of geology and mining and spatial planning and architecture from municipalities and district offices of the Silesian Voivodeship. The representatives of municipalities are interested in participating in a workshop to show the possibilities of the DSS tool.

A seminar entitled ‘Surface hazard assessment 25 years after the end of mining exploitation in post-mining areas in Wałbrzych’ was held in Wałbrzych. The presentation, entitled Comprehensive assessment of risks in post-mining areas for the purposes of spatial planning, presented the assumptions and progress of the project. The main focus was on a discussion with representatives of the local administration, companies carrying out specialised geodetic, hydrogeological and other surveys, and scientists from several universities involved in research in post-mining areas. Representatives of the city of Walbrzych are very interested in the possibility of using the DSS tool.
The seminar was attended by 62 people.
