Why Materials Supply is Becoming More Uncertain
The 2026 East Midlands Materials Society Prestige Lecture will be delivered by IOM3 President Christine Blackmore on 11 November.
In an increasingly uncertain world, the supply of materials we rely on can no longer be taken for granted. Global events, changing trade relationships and growing demand are all affecting where materials come from and how reliably they reach the industries that need them. In this talk, Christine will explore why materials supply is becoming more uncertain and what this means for the materials community. Join us for an opportunity to hear her perspective on an issue that matters to us all and to consider the challenges ahead for materials and the industries that depend on them.
The lecture will take place in Room S.2.031 in the Department of Materials at Loughborough University, LE11 3TU. If you plan to attend in person please book your place here. The talk will also be streamed live via MS Teams and you can join using this link.
