The University of Queensland has a rich history of world class education and research associated with the minerals industry. The Sustainable Minerals Institute is building on this very strong base to expand and diversify minerals related research and postgraduate education within the broad context of sustainable development.
Since its inception in 2001, SMI has embarked on the task of working with the industry to understand and implement the principles of sustainable development. Over the last six years, SMI has steadily built expertise related to sustainable development and it has engaged widely with the industry on a very diverse range of challenges with a sustainability focus.
The keys to SMI are the diversity of skills within the Institute and the capability to link these skills in novel ways. People with backgrounds in technical, environmental and social disciplines make up SMI. It is this blend of skills which allows SMI to make significant contributions to the advancement of sustainable development within the industry.
