REMIND Project Seminars

REMIND - Renewable Energies for water Treatment and Reuse in Mining Industries is a RISE (Research and Innovation Staff Exchange) project of Horizon 2020, i.e. a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Action.
This project aims to develop a new paradigm in mining management to address a zero water-energy balance. The bidirectional knowledge transfer activities implemented in REMIND aim to:

1. Implement a rational use of water resources in the logic of the circular economy;
2. Promote a carbon-free technological approach (water-energy nexus) to reduce the need for conventional energy resource;
3. Leverage cross-sector cooperation between academia and industry by defining best practices for knowledge transfer.
