Research Team
CoE SOURCES involves scientific excellence in engineering and natural science and social and political sciences. Collaboration of eight research groups lead by Profs. Aav, Trikkel, Vares, Ošeka, Preis, Kalvet, Kirsimäe and Kruusenberg from Tallinn University of Technology (TalTech) and its Virumaa Colledge (VC), University of Tartu (UT) and National Institute of Chemical and Biophysics (NICBP) as well as Estonian Republic Geological Survey (GS) highlights outstanding potential for interdisciplinary research, intersectoral knowledge exchange. Objectives will be reached by four working groups: Strategic Mineral Resources (SMR), Carbon-Based Resources (CBR), Circular Technologies Upscaling (CTU), and Circular Business Eco-System and Modeling (CBEM) via close collaboration.
External partner: Geological Survey
The Geological Survey of Estonia (GSE) is a state agency operating in the administrative area of the Ministry of Climate. The main tasks of GSE are to represent the country in carrying out general geological research and geological surveys, preserving and ensuring the availability of geological information, advising government agencies and informing the public about topics on the earth's crust. The Geological Survey of Estonia plays an important role in the implementation of the European Green Agreement, primarily in the field of research, mining, industry and trade of critical raw materials and related innovation. Constantly developing technology entails constantly changing data, increasing data volumes, the changing of data processing formats as well as methods of implementation. A large number of the staff of GSE has an educational background from either the University of Tartu or TalTech, and combines knowledge of both geology and chemistry, ensuring high-level interdisciplinary knowledge of mineral resources and their processing, both in theoretical and practical aspects.
