Critical materials: emerging measurement and standardisation needs

A technical discussion workshop will be held as part of the 50th Steering Committee of VAMAS that will be hosted in the UK in September 2025. The aim is to bring together international experts to discuss the current global landscape of critical materials and dependent technologies. Discussions will identify opportunities and barriers in supply chains, emergent alternatives, activities directed towards recycling / second-life use, recycling protocols, and the needed international standardisation that requires measurement science innovation to achieve progress.
