Deakin University in Geelong, Australia, will establish the Training Centre for Resource Efficient Alloys in a Circular Economy (circAlloy) with support from the Australian Research Council (ARC). The ARC will provide nearly $5 million in funding for the centre, which will be led by Professor Matthew Barnett. circAlloy will focus on developing longer-lasting alloys for industries such as mining and construction, aiming to create a more circular economy that requires fewer resources. The centre will also promote innovation in renewable technologies. Deakin's Applied Artificial Intelligence Institute and the University of Technology Sydney's Institute for Sustainable Futures will support circAlloy, which will collaborate with industry and academia. The production of solid materials contributes to 23% of global CO2 emissions, with steel production alone accounting for 7% of global emissions. The centre will play a crucial role in training the next generation in alloy science and manufacturing for resource efficiency in a circular economy [59161b08].
