Prepare for the second edition!
After a very successful first IRTC conference in Lille this February, we are happy that our host for 2024 will be Politecnico di Torino. The 2024 IRTC conference focuses on new approaches to criticality to face the challenges of a changing geopolitical configuration and the threat of the climate crisis – looking at emerging policies, new ideas for criticality mitigation, and novel forms of collaboration between sectors and countries to foster supply security and sustainability. IRTC24 will focus again strongly on dialogue and interaction and on connecting different stakeholder groups.

About IRTC
IRTC, the “International Round Table on Materials Criticality” is a project established in 2018 and funded by EIT RawMaterials. IRTC consists of leading international experts in material criticality discussing different perspectives and requirements of criticality assessments, impacts of criticality, and ways to mitigate it. The project bridges academic expertise, industry practice, and policy-making, and engages with stakeholders around the world.

Why should you participate?
IRT24 provides you with the unique opportunity to learn about and discuss state-of-the-art topics in criticality, the relevance of critical raw materials for decarbonization and cutting-edge technology, novel mitigation strategies, and the most pressing issues in industry, academia, and policy-making. It also provides a platform for connecting participants from a diverse range of expertise, backgrounds, countries, and stakeholder groups.
