The 2025 OECD Conference of Mining Regions and Cities is set to take place from June 16–18, 2025, in Rovaniemi, Lapland, Finland. This annual event serves as a pivotal platform for stakeholders across the public and private sectors, academia, civil society organisations, and local communities to engage in meaningful discussions about the well-being of mining regions.
The 2025 conference will concentrate on two main pillars:
- Improving Community Participation, Trust, and Communication in Mining
Exploring strategies to enhance dialogue and collaboration between mining operations and local communities. - Advancing Research and Innovation for Sustainable Mining Practices
Discussing the latest developments in mining technologies and practices that prioritize environmental sustainability and social responsibility.
The conference will feature a cocktail reception on June 16, providing attendees with informal networking opportunities to connect with panelists, project representatives, and fellow participants. This setting aims to foster collaboration and the exchange of ideas among diverse stakeholders.
