The aim of MINLAND project is to meet the challenges of competing land use from many different needs, to support a more efficient and sustainable permitting process and to ensure knowledge exchange among relevant stakeholders.
The MINLAND project has been designed to meet the challenges of competing land use from many different needs. Therefore, securing access to land for exploration and extraction of minerals, including critical raw materials in an integrated optimized process is of great importance. The MINLAND project will pursue four main objectives: to produce a data base of existing policies, to provide guidelines on how to link land use and mineral policies, to analyse land use case studies of mineral exploration and extraction with respect to mineral and land use policies. The aim is to support a more efficient and sustainable permitting process by providing best practice examples and to ensure knowledge exchange among relevant stakeholders.
