The COSMO Laboratory is funded by a consortium of major mining companies, who together represent 75% of the world’s mining activities. The Lab also benefits from the generous support of the Canadian and Quebec governments. These two sources combined provide the Laboratory with one million dollars a year in funding, which is split approximately 60/40 between government and industry respectively. The support that the COSMO Lab receives has allowed for 30 graduate students to benefit from a world-class education on a fully funded basis since 2006. It has also facilitated effective knowledge dissemination through conferences, short-courses and site visits in order to reach a global audience
