ISM - a new NCE Program in Canada

ISM-NCE: A new Spin-off Opportunity from CERM3
Malcolm Scoble, Professor and Head, Mining Engineering, University of British Columbia
Background The Department of Mining Engineering at UBC from its base with CERM3 has put forward a proposal to create a new Network of Centres of Excellence across Canada entitled Innovation for Sustainable Mining. ISM is an organization that intends to build off the research work being done in CERM3 to bring together all of the other Mining Engineering programs across Canada.
This is the third attempt to create such a formal link and we are confident that this time, the proposal will be approved. Mining Engineering is now being accepted by the conventional funding agencies as a unique discipline with its own set of needs and values. The environmental profile that CERM3 has given to Mining research has served the industry and the other mining programs very well indeed.
The establishment of this network will do much to increase the collaboration between Mining programs across the country.
