Modern developments in electronics, batteries, electric vehicles and other technologies depend on certain critical minerals. There is a global race for these minerals as demand across the world rises, and the UK Government's Critical Minerals strategy sets out this country will ensure sufficient supply to meet UK needs going forward. Science and technology can make a major contribution to delivering the strategy, from more efficient extraction, effective and commercially viable recycling and new materials. This in turn is leading to new commercial opportunities.
In this event, we will discuss the UK strategy, and explore how science, technology and innovation can help deliver it.
This event will take place on 24 February 2025 from 6pm–7.30pm. This is a hybrid event, which can be attended in person or online on Zoom.
This event is being jointly organised by the Foundation for Science and Technology, the Geological Society, and the Royal Society of Chemistry.
