May 6-7 2024, Kulturens hus, Luleå
We meet in early May to highlight and discuss the current and critical issues in the mining and metal sector. We will highlight today’s innovation needs and what the innovation landscape looks like. What will mining in the next century look like? What does the triple helix funding opportunities look like? How do we ensure that we make optimal choices as we move forward with the green transition? These are just some of the topics we address during this year’s edition of Sweden Mining Research and Innovation Days, which will be held lunch to lunch on May 6-7 at Kulturens hus, Luleå.
We need you, your knowledge, experience and thoughts to make a great event. Together we can take the steps towards a sustainable society and future. Come and enjoy lunch, listen to exciting presentations and projects, network with our exhibitors over a cup of coffee and mingle with new acquaintances with something nice to drink and canapés on the plate. Welcome!
