This Met4Tech Workshop will be a ‘deep dive’ exploration of key products containing technology metals, and will explore how past events and turning points affected the future development and markets for these products, through discussion of several Examples of Responsible Innovation (RI). The workshop participants (industry partners, researchers, policy-makers) will share the ‘learning lessons’ gained from the past/present situations and talk about the needs for more responsible innovation in future. The main aim of this workshop is to outline draft guidelines for responsible innovation that can be applied towards the establishment of the National Virtual Data Observatory (NVO), working together with project partners on the new Case Studies, and the development of the new Technology Metals Circular Economy Roadmap. These guidelines will be revisited throughout the project, so please join us for this very important initial workshop on Responsible Innovation.
