“IRTC is a great global network for sharing research results with the focus on critical raw materials. Topics include the global mineral raw material markets, from exploration towards sustainable mining processing, manufacturing, and modeling future demand and supply. The German Mineral Resources Agency (DERA) at the German Geological Survey (BGR) benefits a lot from this global exchange.”
Peter Buchholz, Deutsche Rohstoffagentur (DERA)
“I find the IRTC conference a great platform to network and discuss diverse views on criticality. I have got great feedback on our research at CEEW from peer research organizations and also created collaboration opportunities. The industry representation here is impressive and the discussions have strengthened my understanding of corporate strategies on critical minerals.”
