The Future Minerals Forum is a government-led mineral platform, which has become the leading gathering bringing together industry leaders, experts, governments, academia, and stakeholders to drive mineral resilience and promote responsible supply.

In 2026, the "Conveyor Technology in Mining Colloquium" will take place for the twelfth time at Clausthal University of Technology and will once again demonstrate the traditional combination of innovation and efficiency in mining. Since its introduction in 2003, the colloquium has served as a forward-looking forum for industry experts from research, industry and administration who deal with the challenges and opportunities of material extraction in mining.
