MRI Projects

The sustainable supply of mineral raw materials is an indispensable foundation of modern societies. Knowledge of the formation and distribution of mineral raw materials is a basic prerequisite for the targeted and successful search for new deposits and for securing and producing the required raw materials. Raw material geological research in the Austrian federal territory is one of the central tasks of GeoSphere Austria.

As part of the ‘Mineral Resources Research Partnerships (MRI) - a strategic research focus of GeoSphere Austria’ initiative, our institution works with research partners on joint projects that contribute to the development of scientific expertise in the raw materials sector and to the expansion of the Austrian research area.
