What we do
The RIME encompasses a major research program aimed at developing environmentally friendly, original, and practical solutions for the entire life cycle of a mine. Much of this work is accomplished while also training highly qualified personnel who represent the workforce of tomorrow.
Our team
The RIME team includes approximately twenty researchers who are all respected specialists in their areas of expertise. They are supported by many research professionals, technicians, and administrative staff. Governance of the Institute is carried out by a Board of Directors that is composed of representatives from both universities as well as the industrial partners.
