The first RM SLO PLUS HUB Webinar 2026 successfully brought together researchers, industry representatives, project partners, and experts from across Europe for two days of discussion dedicated to Social License to Operate (SLO) in the raw materials sector. Through a series of lectures, case studies, and interactive discussions, participants explored key topics including SLO foundations, governance and ESG frameworks, stakeholder engagement, conflict dynamics, public consultation, and communication approaches for strengthening dialogue between industry and society.
The webinar created a collaborative space for exchanging perspectives and practical experiences, highlighting the importance of interdisciplinary and international cooperation in addressing current challenges related to responsible and sustainable raw materials development. Contributions from partner institutions and experts across Europe further enriched the discussion and reflected the strong collaborative network behind the RM SLO PLUS HUB initiative.
The second round of RM SLO PLUS HUB Webinar will take place on 26–27 May 2026.
