Make a difference by leading research in mine closure
Ever consider what transpires when a mine shuts and how it impacts Traditional Owners, communities, the environment, and nearby businesses?
As part of the Australian Government’s innovative CRC Program, which is renowned worldwide, the Cooperative Research Centre for Transformations in Mining Economies (CRC TiME) was founded as an independent research organization. The project work with more than 75 different partners.
In essence, their job is to rethink and assist in the transformation of post-mine transitions by establishing connections between the top scholars in Australia and business, government, and regional and First Nations communities and organizations. To ensure long-term benefits for individuals, communities, the environment, and industry, they take on some of the most difficult difficulties related to mine closure and post-transitions.
Embedding Indigeneity and First Nations co-design into all they do
By creating innovative research methods, they are attempting to secure First Nations inclusion. A First Nations Inclusion Strategy, a First Nations Advisory Team, and a commitment to assisting Indigenous students all serve as the foundation for CRC TiME.
