SMILE: Sustainable Mining Innovation and Lifestyle Enhancement Regional Innovation Engine (NSF Engine)

Demand for minerals is at unprecedented levels, due to global energy transitions, population growth, and increasing wealth. Healthy communities and responsible mining techniques are crucial to U.S. geopolitical and defense strategies as the urgency for domestic mineral supply intensifies. The Sustainable Mining Innovation and Lifestyle Enhancement Regional Innovation Engine (SMILE Engine) will transform these challenges into opportunities by tapping these communities as innovation testbeds.
