Partnering for change
UQ's world-recognised research strengths in mining and engineering are valuable to Chile, where copper export alone stands for more than one third of government income. In fact, UQ's Sustainable Minerals Institute – International Centre of Excellence in Chile (SMI-ICE-Chile) seeks to help the mining industry overcome critical barriers to long-term sustainability through research, technology transfer, and people development.
