The growth in world population and the increasing amounts of energy and raw materials demanded by modern societies are facts of recent decades. Special attention is placed nowadays on the exploitation of lithium an important and scarce geological resource in Europe, which occurs in one of the largest mineralisation zones located in the Iberian Peninsula, namely in the Guarda region. The concerns of societies with sustainability questions are nowadays a priority issue. The H2020 (IC&DT) Project LÍTIO is a joint project between a mining company, three higher schools and the Portuguese professional association of geologists. The priority domain is the valorisation of natural endogenous resources associated with territorial innovation in the mining district of Gonçalo, with the primary areas of this project being the preservation and sustainability of lithium through the development of products, processes, and services, as well as the development of innovative proposals for tourism in the region, aiming at the promotion of the mining area.
