Hello and welcome to the May edition of the Institute for Mineral and Energy Resources e-newsletter.
I'd like to take this opportunity to reflect on the recent visit by
Douglas Morrison, President and CEO of the
Centre for Excellence in Mining Innovation (CEMI), Ontario, Canada. Douglas was a key speaker at a workshop on Innovation, Research and Industry Partnerships in the Mineral and Energy Resources Sector in South Australia, which was organised by IMER.
CEMI's focus on step-change innovation in the areas of exploration, deep mining, integrated mine engineering, environment and sustainability for the mining industry align closely with our own. Like IMER, CEMI works to improve connections between universities and industry and to address industry's need for practical interdisciplinary innovations.
The workshop was another great example of how we are bringing together industry, government and academia. This strategic approach to developing local, national and international collaborations will help strengthen our capabilities for the benefit of the State and Australia.
Read on to keep up with the latest news and research from your industry.
