IOM3 to host inaugural materials, minerals and mining event in 2025

The Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining will hold its first flagship event, M3P3, on November 11-12, 2025, to unite professionals, promote sustainable transformations, and encourage collaboration across the sectors of materials, minerals, and mining.

The Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining (IOM3) is preparing to host its inaugural flagship event, titled "Materials, Minerals & Mining for People, Places, Planet" (M3P3). Scheduled for November 11 and 12, 2025, this two-day gathering aims to foster inspiration, collaboration, and professional development among professionals within the associated industries.

The event is designed to unite the 22 technical groups that comprise the IOM3 community, highlighting the diverse fields within materials, minerals, and mining. Organisers aim to promote synergies that can drive sustainable transformations in these sectors. The focus areas include discussions around industrial strategy, the circular economy, the skills landscape in the UK, and critical materials strategy. These topics will be addressed through a series of panel discussions featuring speakers who are considered changemakers in their respective fields.

Participants will also have the opportunity to showcase their work. Abstract submissions for technical poster presentations are currently open, with a deadline set for September 30, 2025. This feature allows attendees to present new insights and engage in discussions with their peers.

In addition to the academic and professional engagement, M3P3 will offer ample networking opportunities. All attendees, whether IOM3 members or not, are encouraged to register for the event, which includes access to all sessions and activities, alongside lunch and refreshments. A networking supper on the evening of November 11 is also part of the package, aimed at fostering connections among participants.

The event promises to be a significant occasion for professionals in the materials, minerals, and mining sectors as they come together to shape the future of their industries through collaboration and innovation. The IOM3 expresses great anticipation for this event, underscoring its commitment to the community and the ongoing development within these critical fields.
