New critical mineral deposits are required to secure the supply of natural resources that are used in today’s advanced technologies. The discovery and sustainable development of these new deposits represents a global chal­lenge. Governments and international geological survey organizations are responding by improved multinational cooperation, data sharing, and through investments in geoscientific research. This Critical […]

This year’s conference will be designed around the concept of the ‘ESG Toolbox’. Our aim is to create a platform to enable us to build on the knowledge shared and gained last year and provide you with tangible, practical tools to help meet your ESG objectives, embed that good practice, and sustain momentum towards a […]

Starting with the industrial revolution, our global economic system has been underpinned by the extraction of natural resources – notably fossil fuels – which accelerated the development trajectories of many advanced economies. Extractive industries can generate significant revenue for producing countries, creating major opportunities for growth for resource-rich countries. Yet extractive industries have also been […]

EIT RawMaterials, HIF@HZDR, INFACT and TheiaX offer a two-week digital event dedicated to the use of Earth Observation data for the raw material sector. Take this unique opportunity to learn about the innovative EO techniques that will shape the raw material sector as it transitions to industry 4.0.

Chinese companies are far from taking control over African or global mining. In 2018, they control less than 7 % of total African mine production. Chinese investments in African mining of non-fuel minerals between 1995 and 2018 have contributed to production growth but it has also increased Chinese control over African mineral and metal production.

The natural resources embedded in Earth System represent humanity’s greatest common wealth. Yet, looking at today’s reality, we see resource governance processes that are highly ineffective, unequal, exploitative and non-transparent. Such processes substantially contribute to environmental degradation, and disproportionately impact communities and natural ecosystems around the world, hindering rather than providing opportunities for development. WRF […]

This year’s workshop Innovation in exploration focuses on innovative solutions for mineral prospecting and exploration via module divided into three days: 1. Main challenges and needs in innovative mineral exploration and robotization: General (EU) policy framework for need of innovative methods in mineral exploration | Innovative solutions for and challenges in underwater spaces: sensor development, robotization | Case studies: exploration […]

EIG 2021 is coming soon in a virtual format. The conference is scheduled for the afternoon of the 3rd and the morning of the 4th of November, and will be unlike anything that we have attempted before. It will attempt to recreate as much as possible of the ‘feeling’ of a normal EIG conference, without […]
