Extractive industries like mining and oil & gas have become increasingly technology-driven, but managing this rapid technological change remains a challenge for companies, governments, and stakeholders.
This MOOC equips participants with tools and ideas to enhance innovation and R&D, with the ability to contribute significantly to SDGs 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy), 9 (Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure), and 13 (Climate Action).
After a course session ends, it will be archived.
Extractive industries—including the mining and oil & gas energy sectors—have become more technology-intensive over the years, and the pace of their technological change is only accelerating as the years role on. Despite this increasing importance on technology, however, the companies, government agencies, and stakeholders connected to these industries frequently struggle with how to manage these kinds of change.
This MOOC will give participants an awareness of how innovation and R&D happen within these sectors and, by teaching them how to apply a broad range of tools and fresh ideas from other industries that have historically been more comfortable with technology, shows them how they can get better results from innovation-related activities.
In so doing, participants from these industries will become more adept at inventing and deploying innovations, thereby enabling them to make significant progress towards SDGs 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy), 9 (Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure) and 13 (Climate Action).
