Strategic programs
21st century society requires increasing supplies of metals and minerals to address population growth, energy, food and water security, poverty reduction and escalating inequity. To ensure the Sustainable Minerals Institute applies a multidisciplinary and systems-based approach to addressing global sustainability challenges, five Strategic Programs have been established which focus on key sustainability challenges and ensuring the future supply of raw materials. These programs draw on the capability within the Research Centres and wider University community to assemble the appropriate expertise for individual projects.
Research Centres
The Sustainable Minerals Institute is made up of six research centres, an international centre of excellence and the technology transfer company JKTech. Each centre is committed to delivering sustainable resource development and training the next generation of industry and community leaders.
