About this event

There are many different career paths one could take in the social and environmental sphere of mining.

Join our panel of experienced social and environmental mining professionals, hosted by Assoc. Prof. Simit Raval, to hear about the different experiences and choices they made along the way in their careers to lead them to where they are today.

The panellists will each share their:

• Academic background
