A partnership for

transformative change.

At its core are Rio Tinto, one of the world’s largest and most influential mining companies and Imperial College London – a global top ten university. The Centre will act as a hub for collaboration with four other leading global institutions: The University of British Columbia, Vancouver, The University of California, Berkeley, The University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg and The Australian National University, Canberra.

The partnership is committed to finding better ways to provide the materials the world needs—now and in the future. We are a beacon for industrial change, bringing together world-class scientific research and industry expertise to drive more sustainable mining and material resource management. By integrating cutting-edge research with real-world application, we are not just responding to today’s challenges: we are setting new standards for the entire sector.
