Bridging Continents: Assessing the Potential for a Swedish-Chilean Ore Deposits and Exploration Research

Purpose and goal

The project aims to promote bilateral research collaboration by assessing the potential to establish a Swedish–Chilean research cluster on ore deposits and exploration. It seeks to enable long-term academic–industry partnerships, support knowledge exchange, and prepare for future joint research proposals on sustainable mineral exploration.

Expected effects and result

The project is expected to lay the groundwork for a bilateral network between Swedish and Chilean actors in ore deposits and exploration. Through targeted efforts and engagement with academia, industry, and funding bodies, it will increase understanding of collaboration opportunities and support future joint research initiatives.

Planned approach and implementation

The project includes a visit to Chile to initiate and strengthen contacts with relevant actors in academia, industry, and government. The focus is on identifying common interests and producing a foundation that can support continued collaboration and potential future joint research efforts.
