In 2019, the Department of State fulfilled a 2017 Presidential Executive Order and identified 35 "critical minerals" that are vital to the U.S. economy and national security. The newer 2022 list includes 50 critical minerals and the U.S. remains import reliant for most of these commodities. Removing materials from the critical minerals list requires a multi-disciplinary approach that encompasses mineral exploration, material flow analysis, sustainability, mining methods, public policy, mineral economics, extractive metallurgy, and production process. To provide a platform for stakeholders from academia, the private sector, and government agencies that represent these disciplines, Missouri S&T University will convene an in-person workshop on “Resilient Supply of Critical Minerals’ on the university's campus in Rolla, MO, on August 9-10, 2023. Themed topical sessions will discuss the resilient supply of critical minerals from cross-disciplinary, convergent perspectives, including mineral exploration and source diversification, mineral processing and recycling, policy making, and resource sustainability. National leaders in their respective fields will give keynote presentations, followed by TED-style talks, panel discussions, and breakout sessions. The breakout sessions will be structured for interdisciplinary engagement, to provide a convergent perspective that includes economic, technical, social, and policy aspects. Research road maps will examine and evaluate the concept of criticality and recognize the cross-disciplinary nature of techniques required to enhance supply resilience. The workshop findings will be summarized and disseminated in a workshop report. The in-person format of this workshop will help to develop and nurture personal relationships between participants from academia, government agencies, and the private sector – thereby facilitating multi-disciplinary collaborations in critical minerals research. Increasing critical mineral supply chain resiliency remains important to the U.S. economy and defense. Existing research has yet to span fully the multi-disciplinary nature of approaches available to enhance supply chain resilience. Geologic, mining engineering, metallurgic, economic, environmental, and social components associated with critical minerals are usually discussed separately with little convergence among the different fields. This in-person workshop will address this gap by providing a platform for engineers, geoscientists, economists, and political scientists from industry, academia, and the government that rarely meet otherwise. The workshop organizers will prepare a comprehensive report that can be used to inform decision-making in pursuit of increasing supply chain resilience, ranging from mineral exploration, separation, and recovery to environmental and social impacts, as well as political processes. The workshop will help nurture an emerging national community with a wide range of expertise in critical mineral supply resilience, spanning academic, industry, and government entities. Travel grants, particularly for students and early-career researchers, will help build a community that spans generations and ensure the meeting's lasting impact. The development of a healthy and active critical mineral community is pivotal to national security and the economy because the U.S. is currently import-reliant for most of the commodities on the critical minerals list. This workshop will develop and publish roadmaps for guiding efforts to gradually decrease import reliance for individual critical minerals, thereby strengthening the economic competitiveness of the U.S. Further, this workshop will generate insights into how U.S. universities can meet the projected future demands for the nation's critical minerals workforce, particularly in rural areas which are most likely to contain undiscovered resources.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

2019 年，美国国务院履行了 2017 年总统行政命令，确定了对美国经济和国家安全至关重要的 35 种“关键矿产”。最新的 2022 年清单包括 50 种关键矿产，美国对这些商品中的大部分仍依赖进口。从关键矿物清单中删除材料需要采用多学科方法，包括矿物勘探、物质流分析、可持续性、采矿方法、公共政策、矿物经济学、为了为代表这些学科的学术界、私营部门和政府机构的利益相关者提供一个平台，密苏里科技大学将在大学校园内举办“关键矿物的弹性供应”研讨会。 2023 年 8 月 9 日至 10 日在密苏里州罗拉举行。主题专题会议将从跨学科、融合的角度讨论关键矿物的弹性供应，包括矿物勘探和来源多元化、矿物加工和回收、政策制定以及资源可持续性等领域的国家领导人将发表主题演讲，随后将举行 TED 式演讲、小组讨论和分组会议，以促进跨学科参与。提供包括经济、技术、社会和政策方面的聚合视角。研究路线图将审查和评估关键性的概念，并认识到增强供应弹性所需技术的跨学科性质。研讨会的研究结果将得到总结和传播。在车间里本次研讨会的面对面形式将有助于发展和培养来自学术界、政府机构和私营部门的参与者之间的个人关系，从而促进关键矿物研究中的多学科合作，提高关键矿物供应链的弹性仍然很重要。现有的研究尚未完全涵盖与关键矿产相关的地质、采矿工程、冶金、经济、环境和社会组成部分的可用方法的多学科性质。这次面对面的研讨会将通过为来自工业界、学术界和政府的工程师、地球科学家、经济学家和政治学家提供一个平台来解决这一差距，否则研讨会的组织者将很少会面。准备一份综合报告，可用于为决策提供信息，以提高供应链的弹性，范围从矿产勘探、分离和回收到环境和社会影响，以及政治进程。该研讨会将有助于培育一个新兴的国家。在关键领域拥有广泛专业知识的社区跨越学术、工业和政府实体的矿产供应弹性，特别是针对学生和早期职业研究人员的旅行补助金，将有助于建立一个跨越几代人的社区，并确保会议产生持久的影响，发展一个健康和活跃的关键矿产社区。对国家安全和经济至关重要，因为美国目前关键矿产清单上的大多数商品都依赖进口。本次研讨会将制定并发布路线图，以指导逐步减少个别关键矿产的进口依赖，从而加强对进口的依赖。的经济竞争力此外，本次研讨会将深入探讨美国大学如何满足国家关键矿产劳动力的预计未来需求，特别是在最有可能蕴藏未发现资源的农村地区。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并被认为是值得的通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估来提供支持。
