IRMCo designed the event to include both pitch-style presentations on the new technological advances and more in-depth presentations on the outcomes of the research on the Social License to Explore theme that have been achieved in the EU funded Horizon 2020 New EXploration Technologies (NEXT) project. In the run-up to the workshop, a save-the-date announcement was prepared by IRMCo which informed about the purpose, the agenda, as well as the bio-notes of the speakers at the event, which can be accessed from the NEXT project website through this link.
