T Tailings Management TAILENGperspectiveon tailings engineering Tailings education and research in the industry by Jorge Macedo, Christopher Bareither, Jonathan Bray, Scott Olson, Tatyana Alexieva, Gonzalo Castro, Antonio da Fonseca, Terry Eldridge, David Frost, Christopher Hatton, Steven Kramer, Georgia Lysay, Kimberly Morrison, Bryan Watts. his article sharestheTAilings and IndustriaL waste ENGineering Center (TAILENG) perspective on the current state and needs for education and research in the tailings industry. TAILENG is a U.S.- based research center formed via a partnership of faculty at four leading universities: Georgia Tech, Colorado State University, University of California-Berkeley, and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Figure 1 showstheTAILENG SteeringCommittee. TAILENG also includes on its organization world-class experts from academia, consulting industry, and visionary miningcompaniesthrough its advisory board and regular members. More information about TAILENG can be found at: http://taileng.ce.gatech.edu/. TheTAILENG SteeringCommittee conducted several meetings with the members ofthe Advisory Board in 2020. The focus of these meetings was to discuss current challenges and potential future needsfor the education of tailings engineers and the role of research in the tailings industry. These meetings have delineated the TAILENG perspective on education and research in the tailings industry,whichisdescribed below.
