Gavin Joins Cambridge Soft Launch of the UK-India Critical Mineral Supply Chain Observatory

Gavin took part in the Cambridge Industry-Academia Workshop on Critical Mineral Supply Chain Resilience, held on 23 and 24 September 2024. Its first day, at the University of Cambridge's Institute for Manufacturing (IfM), included the soft launch of the UK-India Critical Mineral Supply Chain Observatory project. The workshop was organised by IfM's Industrial Resilience Research Group with IIT Bombay and the UK Science and Innovation Network, and drew more than 100 delegates from academia, industry and policy in both countries. The observatory will follow critical-mineral supply chains from mine to electric vehicle, helping to spot supply risks, recycling opportunities and shortages. Gavin is an Academic Collaborator at IfM.
