Critical Minerals – how can science and technology help deliver the UK Strategy?

THIS EVENT HAS BEEN POSTPONED DUE TO THE GENERAL ELECTION. WE WILL CONFIRM A NEW DATE IN DUE COURSE. 

 

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.
