$1 Million Centre for Resources Health and Safety
The Newcastle Institute for Energy and Resources (NIER) at the University of Newcastle will tomorrow launch a new Centre for Resources Health and Safety, a research centre aimed at saving lives in the high-risk resources sector. The new Centre has been established through a new research partnership, worth $1 million over four years, between NIER and global healthcare provider Aspen Medical.
