HIGHLIGHTS

The Veolia Institute's 10th International Conference, held in partnership with the Oxford Martin School, offered perspectives on how to make strategic materials and mineral resources available for a sustainable future.

It built bridges amongst those who can contribute insights and solutions, from academics and the scientific community to policy-makers and business leaders. Nearly 200 participants and 50 speakers exchanged for two days and highlighted the challenges that we will face as we transition to a low-carbon economy to ensure the availability of strategic materials.
