MUST on March 12 hosted a delegation from Imperial College London and University of Cambridge, marking an important milestone in strengthening international academic collaboration.
The visit follows a growing partnership with MUST through the Earth Sciences Department in the Ndata School of Climate and Earth Sciences.
The collaboration focuses largely on critical minerals, which play a key role in global technological development and transition to sustainable energy.
Among the expected outcomes of this partnership is the establishment of a Centre for Sustainable Minerals and Mining at MUST.
Among others, the centre will promote research, innovation, and responsible management of mineral resources, particularly critical minerals that are essential for modern technologies.
The collaboration will also support development of a Master’s programme in Earth Resource Governance, aimed at training professionals who can lead in sustainable and responsible management of natural resources.
This partnership highlights MUST’s commitment to advancing research, innovation, and global partnerships, positioning the university as a key contributor to knowledge and solutions in the critical minerals sector.
