The University of Queensland will play a crucial role in a multi-million-dollar four-year project which will see universities and industry working together to build commercialisation in Australia’s critical mineral supply chain that will create 1300 jobs.

Researchers at The University of Queensland’s Sustainable Mineral Institute have won five grants, totalling more than $1.2 million in funding, to develop new sustainable resource research from the Australian Coal Industry’s Research Program (ACARP).

Julius Kruttschnitt Mineral Research Centre (JKMRC) PhD Candidate Joyce Siong has been awarded the prestigious Ian Morley Prize for her excellence in applied research, enthusiastic approach to site work, and dedication to the Centre’s student community.

A new award in honour of the late Professor William ‘Bill’ Whiten will offer HDR students in process control and model development at The University of Queensland (UQ) financial support to complete their thesis or the opportunity to attend a conference.

Along with the Lynch family, Professor Alban Lynch had another family: and that is the JKMRC family which stretches across the globe. Emeritus Professor Don McKee reflects on his long time friend and colleague.
