We are holding a conference focussed on "Oil and Minerals Producing Good & Development: The Prospects of new Legal Approaches and the UN Sustainable Development Goals".
Conference is free and open to all! More details about the conference can be found below.
The Aberdeen University Centre for Energy Law (AUCEL) is leading dedicated and innovative multidisciplinary studies and research into how oil, mining and other minerals resources could be used by governments, industry and others, to produce development, equity and other positive outcomes. This is in contrast to the fabled “Resource Curse” –minerals resources producing negative outcomes of poverty, poor economic growth, corruption, conflicts, stunted development and wars. The conference will present and discuss latest and innovative approaches on the subject.
The discussants will include University of Aberdeen Faculty: Dr Mark Osa Igiehon, Dr Sola Kasim and Emre Usenmez.
During the conference, University of Aberdeen postgraduate students from over 20 countries will present their work and innovative approaches to this fascinating and topical subject.
Representatives have been invited from leading oil and mining companies, UK embassies of resource rich countries, governmental and non-governmental institutions.
