UArizona's International Mining Social License Summit
In April 2024, the School of Mining & Mineral Resources held its inaugural Mining Social License Summit, a first-of-its-kind forum for sharing best practices and the latest thinking and technologies for building, maintaining, and rebuilding social license to operate for mining.
With distinguished speakers like U.S. Ambassador Todd Chapman, international mining company leaders, and global consultants on the front lines of community voice, this event hosted nearly 200 attendees from around the world who are breaking boundaries to operate, and who shared their experiences and knowledge to help everyone achieve greater social license success.
