A decade ago, Minerals in Your Life revealed how minerals shape our daily lives - from phones to medicines. Now, in a world racing for green energy, this second edition highlights Europe’s urgent need for sustainable mineral sourcing.

As geopolitics shift, EuroGeoSurveys’ experts guide the search for critical raw materials, ensuring a future where responsible mining powers progress. This book reflects their collaborative vision - balancing ecology, economy, and innovation for generations to come.

Join us at Xcenter // Centre of Creative Practices in Nova Gorica, Slovenia for a presentation of the upcoming new edition of the book Minerals in your Life, including a poster exhibit, presentations by mineral experts, and a panel discussion.
