The Cooperative Research Centre for Transformations in Mining Economies (CRC TiME) brings together over 70 leading mining and mining service companies, regional development organisations, State and Commonwealth governments and research partners. Our unique coalition brings scale and coordinated investment into innovative research that addresses the complex challenges underpinning mine closure and relinquishment.
Key challenges for the industry were raised by the 2018 Senate inquiry into Mining Rehabilitation. To address these challenges, CRC TiME was initiated in early 2020 through the Australian Government’s Cooperative Research Centre (CRC) Program, providing the ideal vehicle to enable sustained industry, research and community collaboration.
