About

THIS TRYBOOKING LINK IS TO GAGE HOW MANY STUDENTS YOU WOULD LIKE TO BRING TO ENSURE WE SECURE THE CORRECT SIZE VENUE. PLEASE REGISTER 1 TIME AND INDICATE THE AMOUNTS OF STUDENTS IN YOUR PARTY.

Understanding the mining life cycle offers students a powerful real‑world example of why STEM skills matter. From exploration to closure and even beyond—every stage relies on scientific research, creative problem‑solving, and evidence‑based environmental stewardship. This event will unpack how geoscientists, chemists, engineers, data analysts, ecologists and innovators work together to find minerals more sustainably, minimise impact, protect ecosystems, and restore land long after mining ends.

By showing students how scientific thinking drives cleaner technologies, greener processes, and smarter resource use, we can inspire the next generation of STEM leaders to imagine and create the low‑footprint mines of the future. Join us to discover how minerals research can energise your science classroom and empower students to tackle global sustainability challenges.

Through inspiring keynotes, interactive panels, and honest conversations, we’ll challenge misconceptions and empower students to see minerals research as a pathway to meaningful, real‑world impact.
