The Arctic Centre of the University of Lapland will lead Work Package 2 (Clustering and meta-analysis) of the EU Horizon 2020 project SUMEX.
The work package is focusing on the
organisation of two clustering workshops with relevant Horizon 2020 raw materials
projects as well as compiling an inventory of extractives and related projects
involving land use planning, permitting, environmental planning, regional
development, socio-economic issues and policy research.
The SUMEX (SUstainable Management
in EXtractive
Industries) project will address the definition of sustainability in
connection with the extractive industry in Europe. It does so by considering the
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the European Green Deal, as well as EU Social
License to Operate (SLO) considerations and will involve various European
stakeholders from
industry, government, academia and civil society.
The project team is coordinated by Montanuniversität Leoben in
Austria and it has nine European partners. SUMEX has started on November
1st, 2020 with a project duration of three years.
In the Arctic Centre, researcher Pamela
Lesser acts as the project leader. Junior researcher is
Katri Kyllönen.
