MiningBrines in short, is a Doctoral Network funded under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) programme, aiming to revolutionize how strategic mineral resources are extracted from natural geothermal brines. The project develops cutting‑edge technologies to enhance mineral recovery, reduce environmental impact, and promote a fully circular approach within the mining sector.

The DN will train a total of 19 Doctoral Students all around Europe and across different disciplines (Earth Sciences, Geobiology, Economics or Societal Sciences). At ISTO, we welcomed MSc. Lorenzo Caruso on September 1st 2026. He will work under the supervision of Dr. M. Louvel and Prof. L. Arbaret to model experimentally how metals get concentrated in geotehrmal brines in volcanic environments.
