Award ceremony of the Mining the Future® challenge-based competition

The Mining the Future® competition sought sustainable solutions for the reuse of excavated molasse material. Launched by CERN and the University of Leoben, with the support of the EU-funded H2020 FCCIS project, the competition attracted proposals for the sustainable reuse solutions for the excavated materials. During the closing ceremony at CERN's Globe of Science and Innovation the four shortlisted proposals were presented and the winner of the competition was announced. The proposed solutions, demonstrate innovative approaches and technologies to integrate this material into the future circular economy. The project should also serve as an example for future applications of molasse beyond this competition-specific project. Credits: Marina Cavazza (https://www.marinacavazza.com/)
