Novel and innovative tools and techniques are required to ensure that whilst mining is carried out in order to achieve some of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, it is not at the detriment of others. Yet, whilst extensive work and research is carried out to address a number of concerns for the mining industry, the tools developed are rarely implemented - even where the science is excellent. There are a number of reasons for this, but we believe one of the most important is due to the complex relationships present within the raw materials sector. The mining industry itself is very complex, with a broad and diverse range of stakeholders. Innovation is often enabled by ACADEMICS, but not always in collaboration with MINING COMPANIES, hence the tools developed may not service them well. Where the two do work together, barriers may include FINANCE, as INVESTORS may not fully understand the advantages of the innovation. Perhaps the best way to integrate novel approaches may be through POLICY and REGULATORS, yet they may not have the subject specific knowledge to enforce this. Both the PROMT and PAMANA project are developing new scientific methods to improve aspects of mining in the Philippines. A Knowledge Exchange (KE) programme, carried out by Fellows who understand these nuances, will address the barriers outlined above. KE will improve understanding of stakeholder perceptions, challenges, and benefits. Then, tools and techniques can be embedded into stakeholder organisations.We propose a KE Fellowship to capitalise on diverse skills, and experience of building relationships across communities, private sector, and public sector; grounded in technical expertise in ecosystem science and economic geology. Our ambition is to build lasting networks that allow PROMT and PAMANA partners a vehicle to embed their research into stakeholder relationships and facilitate partnerships for further collaboration and project follow-on.

需要新颖和创新的工具和技术，以确保在为实现某些联合国可持续发展目标而进行采矿的同时，不损害其他目标。然而，尽管开展了广泛的工作和研究，以解决采矿业的一些担忧，但开发的工具很少得到实施--即使在科学非常出色的地方。造成这种情况的原因有很多，但我们认为最重要的原因之一是原材料行业内部存在的复杂关系。采矿业本身非常复杂，利益相关者广泛多样。创新往往是由学者推动的，但并不总是与矿业公司合作，因此开发的工具可能不会很好地为他们服务。在两者确实合作的地方，障碍可能包括金融，因为投资者可能没有完全理解创新的优势。也许整合新方法的最好方法可能是通过政策和监管机构，但他们可能没有特定于学科的知识来执行这一点。Promt和Pamana项目都在开发新的科学方法，以改善菲律宾的采矿方面。由了解这些细微差别的研究员开展的知识交流(KE)方案将解决上述障碍。KE将提高对利益相关者认知、挑战和好处的理解。然后，工具和技术可以嵌入到利益相关者组织中。我们建议设立KE奖学金，以利用在社区、私营部门和公共部门建立关系的不同技能和经验；以生态系统科学和经济地质学方面的技术专业知识为基础。我们的目标是建立持久的网络，让Promt和Pamana合作伙伴成为将他们的研究嵌入到利益相关者关系中的工具，并促进合作伙伴关系的进一步合作和项目后续行动。
