RICHARD LILLY - The Gap between Industry & Academia

In this episode of Mining the Gap, Dr. Richard Lilly shares his unique journey from industry to academia, highlighting the importance of bridging the gap between these two worlds through the NEXUS program.

The disconnect between academia and industry is a challenge across many fields, but in mining and exploration, it can mean the difference between developing the next generation of mining professionals—or losing them to other industries. Dr. Richard Lilly has dedicated his career to closing this gap.

A geologist with extensive industry experience, Richard now lectures at the University of Adelaide and is the founder of the National Exploration Undercover School (NExUS), a program designed to equip early-career geoscientists with the skills and knowledge needed to find the ore deposits of the future.

Some questions this episode evokes:

⛏️ Would you halve your own salary to pursue your passion?

⛏️ Did you know, Gen Z’s are expected to have 6 different careers and 18 employers? What can industry do about these statistics?

⛏️ Have you ever thought about your career as a map of the London Underground tube map? Where, you can start anywhere and finish anywhere!?
