The aim of the NEXT final event is to present and discuss innovative exploration concepts and technologies that can be optimized for diverse mineral systems and for a variety of geographical areas in the EU. Together these will extend the existing knowledge of European mineral resources, will help secure the domestic supply of both major commodities and critical raw materials, and will launch socio-environmental innovation approaches in the mining industry.

The event will bring together anybody interested in the results of the NEXT project, including the participants of EU projects related to mineral exploration; mining and mineral exploration companies, governmental authorities, universities, NGOs and other stakeholders in order to:

• Highlight the latest innovations, solutions and advancements in the exploration sector
• Highlight the economic, commercial, and technological benefits and factors affecting social acceptance of exploration
• Promote best practices in mineral exploration reducing environmental impact and improving relationships with local community actors
• Strengthen the cooperation between European projects dealing with exploration
