Areas of Emphasis
SuReMin emphasizes four areas of focus to underpin a long-lasting mineral supply chain: data collection, disposal and reuse, life cycle evaluation, and education.
About SuReMin
The Sustainable, Resilient, responsible global Minerals supply chain (SuReMin) program will be a leading voice for a just energy transition by guiding the development of a socially responsible and environmentally sustainable international minerals supply chain.
As part of the Center for Engineering Sustainability and Resilience Track 2 National Science Foundation's Global Centers grant, SuReMin will design, plan, and coordinate a global center to recruit, train, and mobilize students and researchers from diverse backgrounds who conduct collaborative, use-inspired, high-impact, and transdisciplinary research.
