International Conference on Advanced Materials and Critical Minerals for Energy Transition

Jointly organised by Ministry of Mines, IIT Hyderabad and IIM Supported by ADB and IEA

As global industries pivot toward cleaner energy, exploration and extraction of critical elements and strategic deployment of advanced materials becomes essential for achieving sustainable transformation. This conference brings together renowned international experts from academia, industry, R & D, concerned ministries, policy makers to explore current developments and challenges in tailoring these minerals and materials for the energy landscape. From critical mineral exploration to elemental extraction, urban mining and circular economy, from high-performance alloy development to additive manufacturing, and from energy harvesting to energy storage innovations, the discussions will illuminate how cutting-edge science and technologies are redefining the role of critical minerals and materials in energy transition. Be part of a collaborative platform that will shape the future of energy through innovations in mineral processing and development of high-performance materials.

Discussion topics and activities:

Exploration and production of critical minerals

Recycling of critical minerals

Green mining

Global trends in critical mineral processing

International cooperation and investment

R&D innovations in extraction and processing

Purification of critical elements for electronic industries
