The International Mineral Innovation Institute (IMII) has issued a challenge that may change the face of the mining industry. The Diversity and Inclusion Challenge Program is providing $1 million to projects that will address the mineral industry’s diversity and inclusion needs.
“IMII is meant to be an innovation institute, and we thought we should support innovation not just in technology but in our practices,” said Al Shpyth, IMII Executive Director. “These open innovation challenges are more often than not done around technology, so we thought it should be something we should try on the education and training front as well.”
