ARC Network in Mineral Processing, Extraction and Refining

该网络的目的是在矿物加工、提炼和精炼领域的世界级研究人员和研究中心之间建立长期的合作研究和培训联系。 其目标是确保澳大利亚的主要出口行业是可持续的，环境可接受的，技术上处于领先地位。 将具有互补技能和专业知识的关键研究人员联网将提高研究质量，鼓励采用整体方法解决问题，并支持研究人员应对超出其通常范围的重大挑战，这将改变行业。其结果将是更大的国际竞争力，更好的资源利用，以及新的研究领导者的孵化，加强澳大利亚的矿产研发基础设施。

The Network aims to develop long-term, collaborative research and training links between world-class researchers and research centres in mineral processing, extraction and refining. The goal is to ensure that Australia's major export industry is sustainable, environmentally acceptable and technically at the cutting edge. Networking key researchers with complementary skills and expertise will enhance research quality, encourage a holistic approach to problem solving and support researchers to tackle big challenges, beyond their usual scope, that will transform the industry. The outcomes will be greater international competitiveness, better resource utilisation, and the incubation of new research leaders, enhancing Australia's minerals R&D infrastructure.
