The Sustainable Minerals Institute (SMI) at the University of Queensland (Australia) is the largest research center of its kind in the world focused on sustainability science and practice in the extractive industries. The Center for Social Responsibility in Mining is one of seven centers within SMI and has pioneered techniques in social impact assessment and conducted research for companies, governments and multilateral development donors. This is a webinar convened by the leadership team at CSRM: Professor Saleem Ali, is the director of the CSRM and the author most recently of Treasures of the Earth, Need, Greed and a Sustainable Future (Yale University Press). Dr. Daniel Franks is Deputy Director for strategy and mineral policy at CSRM and the Co-Chair for Social Impact Assessment at the International Impact Assessment Association (IAIA), Dr. Deanna Kemp is Deputy Director for Industry Relations and Community Relations at CSRM and serves on the expert review panel for corporate membership for the International Council on Metals and Mining (ICMM).
The course is aimed at all extractive industry managers and practitioners who engage with local communities and other external stakeholders. It may be of particular relevance for community relations/social performance and environment staff and legal and compliance officers. Staff from technical professions who are seeking to build their knowledge about the social aspects of mining are also welcome.
