The 20th Anniversary of the Research Consortium in Mineral Exploration (CONSOREM) A portrait of success in research and innovation in Quebec

Twenty years ago, a group of university professors and mineral exploration professionals predicted that bringing together several exploration companies within a single collaborative research structure would have positive repercussions for all. Founded in 2000, the Consortium de Recherche en Exploration Minérale (CONSOREM) is a unique research structure that combines industrial, government and academic members. The concept was a sound one: by pooling expertise and financial resources from the outset, CONSOREM generated innovative pioneering projects, provided access to research for small companies and met the strategic needs of the industry.
