SUMMARY:METS Technology Showcase: The Philippines
DESCRIPTION:The Philippines is seeking to transform its mining sector into a key economic growth engine. It is one of the world’s most mineral-rich countries\, with significant deposits of nickel\, copper\, gold and other minerals essential to global industry and the energy transition. \nWhile the opportunities are significant\, the Philippines’ geology and terrain present distinctive technical characteristics\, such as complex nickel laterite orebodies with variable grades\, a tropical climate\, harsh terrain\, and atypical porphyry copper-gold geology. These conditions call for specialised innovation\, technology and expertise\, creating a strong alignment with the world-leading solutions offered by the Australian METS industry. \nThis webinar will feature five world-leading Australian METS companies as they explore the innovations being implemented at mining operations globally to control orebody grades\, reduce variability\, and support more productive and profitable mines. \nPresentations will showcase solutions driving operational value in areas such as: \n\nSensor-based ore sorting & grade control for nickel laterite and copper-gold blending\nGeometallurgy & mineralogical characterisation for variable\, weathered ore bodies\nFlowsheet optimisation for nickel feed preparation and porphyry copper-gold circuits\nRecovery improvement technologies such as flotation\, separation and beneficiation\nReal-time process control\, plant data analytics & digital twins for metallurgical performance\nManaging water\, tailings and waste for complex orebodies\n\nJoin this Webinar to understand the opportunities to foster mining technology collaboration between Australia and The Philippines.

SUMMARY:DEADLINE: National Computational Merit Allocation Scheme 2027
DESCRIPTION:NCMAS provides access\, based on research and computational merit\, for researchers at Australian universities and publicly funded research agencies\, to resources at the major national HPC facilities. \nNCMAS supports HPC simulations\, data processing and AI/ML. Quantum computing is also available via Setonix-Q – a portal for Australian researchers to run hybrid quantum–classical workflows. \nThe NCMAS 2027 Call for Applications is expected to be highly competitive. Last year: \n\nAbout 884 million SU (service units) in total were awarded to applicants at the two\nHPC facilities\, NCI and the Pawsey Supercomputing Centre.\nAllocated resources were only ~40% of the total requested resources\, with the\nscheme more than 2.5x oversubscribed.\n110 of 235 applications (~47%) received allocations on one or more of the HPC\nfacilities.\n\nThe National Computational Merit Allocation Scheme is Australia’s premiere grant scheme for access to high-performance computing (HPC) resources. The two Tier-1 HPC facilities in Australia\, the National Computational Infrastructure (NCI) and the Pawsey Supercomputing Research Centre\, together offer hundreds of millions of hours of computing time to meritorious researchers.
