About Us
RML was established in 2014 to provide high quality support to research and innovation teams across government, academic and business sectors. Our team includes over 20 years experience developing and delivering projects across a wide range of EU funding programmes from Framework Programme 5 through to Horizon Europe. RML has also designed, implemented and reviewed national research funding programmes.
We accelerate research impact by collaborating with national and international partners in geothermal energy, mineral resources, and other Earth and ocean sciences
