Colloquium Master Affaires Internationales, Université Paris Dauphine-PSL: Critical metals, rare earths

The Master 212 – International Affairs is pleased to invite you to the 2023 edition of its annual conference, on 20 March 2023 at 7pm.

After the straits, the Arctic and the submarine cables, the Master 212 will focus this year on the challenges of critical metals and rare earths.
