Reference Groups

The main question for IVA's project Roadmap for Metals and Minerals is how Sweden and Europe can sustainably secure the supply of metals and minerals. For political and international anchoring, the project is supported by two reference groups. These groups are involved in the project's work in various ways, mainly as a source of supplementary knowledge and broadened perspectives.
