Leaders' Workshop

Leaders' document

June 2-3, 2010, Toronto, Ontario, Canada

On June 2-3, 2010, the Leaders' Workshop for the proposed International Fault Slip Control Research Initiative (IFSCRI) was held. This workshop was designed to review the outcomes of the previous four technical area-specific workshops, each one with the purpose of brainstorming exciting and relevant research and technology projects needed to better understand the fault slip problem in underground mines within the context of a ~$20-50 million, multi-year research program. Further, this workshop would identify the fundamental science questions to form the basis of ongoing research as well as to select a sustainable test site at which to carry out the research.
