The Hub

The Australian Critical Minerals Research and Development Hub brings together expertise from Australia’s leading science agencies: ANSTO (Australia’s Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation), Geoscience Australia and CSIRO. The Hub is hosted by CSIRO and the three agencies work collaboratively to scale up and commercialise Australia’s critical minerals potential by aligning R&D to priority technical challenges and Australia’s strategic priorities. The Hub facilitates international R&D collaboration in support of strategic supply chain resilience.

The Hub delivers against its mission under three pillars:

There are seven Hub-funded research projects, including three announced in January 2024. See the research tab for information and resources on each of the projects.
