This 8th session of the Webinar TTI.5 will be held online on Friday, January 19, 2024, from 1:30 PM to 3:30 PM. The session will be held in French.<\/em><\/p>\n The extraction, importation, and transformation of raw materials play a crucial role in the low-carbon transition. Emerging technologies such as renewable energy, electric vehicles, and energy storage devices rely on so-called rare metals, such as lithium and cobalt.<\/p>\n However, the use of these resources can lead to environmental problems, mining-related conflicts, challenging working conditions, and inequalities in access to the benefits of the transition. The geopolitical balance is disrupted.<\/p>\n Thus, the responsible management of raw materials becomes a crucial issue to ensure an environmentally sustainable and socially equitable transition.<\/p>\n To discuss all these topics, three specialists are announced among the speakers :<\/p>\n Damien GOETZ<\/strong> | Professor-Researcher at GEOSCIENCES Mines Paris \u2013 PSL<\/a> Brice LAURENT<\/strong> | Researcher at CSI Mines Paris \u2013 PSL<\/a> Farah BENRAMDANE<\/strong> | Phd Student at theUniversity Bordeaux-Montaigne<\/a> If you wish to attend, please connect at 1:30 pm via zoom, the link will be communicated on this page<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n TTI.5 team contact: tti.5@minesparis.psl.eu<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\nProgram<\/strong><\/h2>\n
\nMineral resources specialist \u2013 with expertise in extraction methods, economic assessment of development, and availability for economic and industrial growth \u2013 Damien GOETZ is a teaching researcher at GEOSCIENCES. He is in charge of the Mineral Resources option for transitions in the education of engineers at Mines Paris \u2013 PSL<\/a>.<\/p>\n
\nResearcher at the Center for the Sociology of Innovation (CSI), Brice LAURENT also serves as the director of the Social Sciences, Economy, and Society Directorate at the French Agency for Food, Environmental and Occupational Health & Safety (ANSES)<\/a>. His research focuses on the relationships between science and democracy, investigated through surveys conducted in places involved in the promotion, regulation, or contestation of innovation. His current work includes inquiries into experimental forms of innovation and research projects addressing political issues related to subsurface resources.<\/p>\n
\nFarah BENRAMDAME has been working on a thesis since 2021 within the \u00c9cole doctorale Montaigne \u2013 Humanit\u00e9s<\/a> in partnership with the unit\u00e9 de recherche\u00a0Cultures et Litt\u00e9ratures des Mondes Anglophones (CLIMAS)<\/a>.
