Institute to lead mining, energy studies Adelaide University will help Australia lead the way in mining and energy research and education with a new institute. "The Institute for Mineral and Energy Resources will help South Australia and the nation face the significant challenge of continuing to grow the mineral and energy resources industries in a manner that addresses major technical, economic, environmental and social issues," the university says in a statement. The institute will provide integrated research, education, professional development and consulting services across all aspects of the mineral and energy resources industries, from exploration through processing to international trade, it said. University vice-chancellor and president James McWha said mineral and energy resources industries were critical to South Australia's economic development but growth and profitability could be limited by the lack of skilled human resources and new technology. "The Institute for Mineral and Energy Resources will address the complex research challenges faced by the mineral and energy sectors, and help provide the skills and consulting services needed by these industries," Professor McWha said in a statement. "This initiative will attract the best and brightest people in the sector to South Australia and reflects the university's strong commitment to align research and teaching to priority areas for the nation and the state." Faculty of Engineering, Computer and Mathematical Sciences executive dean Peter Dowd said the university also was seeking alliances to complement its expertise. "We have already agreed a memorandum of understanding on research and teaching collaboration with the University of Nottingham in the UK and are talking with other potential academic and industry collaborators around the world," Professor Dowd said. |
