About the talk
Mineral resources are the lifeblood of our modern society and the key to a more sustainable future. To face the challenge of increasing demand for raw materials combined with high import dependency, Europe has to take responsibility and address strategic issues such as criticality, global supply, resource & energy efficiency and economic development by boosting exploration and mining efforts, strengthening processing capabilities and creating smart and sustainable solutions to reduce emissions, waste and water & energy consumption.

About speaker
Patrick is an expert for the sustainable discovery and supply of strategic minerals and metals. He has over 15 years of experience working at the interface between the mining industry, government and academia. In his current position as senior advisor for exploration and resource assessment at EIT RawMaterials, he focusses on innovative initiatives that strengthen exploration and mining activities in Europe.
View the profileYeah, I think it's me some things to other parts of all I want to thank the arm design organizing team remind me some I also want to thank all of you who have dialed in for this event, wherever you may be a good morning. Good afternoon, good evening. So s Christopher mention on the senior Vice for exploration and resource assessment at AIT raw materials vit is a knowledge in Innovation community of a git which stands for the European Initiative for Innovation and Technology.
And in the next 15 minutes or so, I would just like to highlight some Trends and key numbers that are shaping the the European mining sector in Exploration sector and I also want to discuss some of the project highlights and initiative highlights that we do have at the moment and that are currently being developed to move Europe and the entire world's to order green and clean Society to order carbon-neutral economy as well. So before I dive into those key numbers and
entrance as I just said I briefly want to discuss Wicked problems something that comes out of social science really is intrinsically what we're dealing with that we have many of those Wicked problems at the moment and a safe and sustainable supply of raw materials or material specifically is certainly a wicked problem because these problems are many stakeholders.
