    Activity: OtherTypes of External academic engagement - Membership of peer review panel or committee

    Description

    The aim of the call is to support research that generates a whole-system view of sustainable mineral production in the Philippines, with proposals addressing at least two of the following three themes:
    a) Novel technologies for the sustainable extraction and understanding of mineral deposition in the Philippines, including improved understanding of local geology and mineral characterization and new approaches to baselining and monitoring;
    b) Legacy (abandoned) mines and mine tailings including resource recovery, processing of untapped/unprocessed minerals, and understanding of the impacts of past practices and routes to ecosystem rehabilitation;
