The university announces a four-year partnership with the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy

It will “showcase the university as a leader in resources education on the world stage,” and “encourage a path into one of Australia’s most critical sectors for domestic and international students alike.”

Not all universities are as keen to be seen with miners as UNSW. Last month the University of Wollongong dropped a coal mining conference, which it had hosted since 1998. (CMM January 23).
