Full description from organizer

Join us for the IRPP Fall Lecture in Ottawa Join us for an evening of conversation, ideas, and networking with Canada’s public policy community. This year’s IRPP fall lecture will feature award-winning journalist and author Vince Beiser. His latest book, Power Metal: The Race for the Resources That Will Shape the Future explores the critical minerals needed for digital technology and renewable energy—and the environmental and political challenges facing the global race to secure them. Reporting from more than 100 regions worldwide, Beiser has written for numerous leading outlets, including the Guardian, Rolling Stone, the Los Angeles Times, the Wall Street Journal, and the New York Times. The lecture will be followed by a lively cocktail reception bringing together parliamentarians, members of the public service, academics, students, and leaders from the non-profit and private sectors. All funds raised will support a junior research associateship at the IRPP, as we cultivate the next generation of public policy thinkers. Junior researchers receive invaluable hands-on experience and mentorship in the production of rigorous, in-depth research on Canada’s toughest policy challenges. ** Rejoignez-nous pour une soirée de conversations, d’idées et de réseautage avec la communauté des politiques publiques du Canada. Cette année, la conférence d’automne de l’IRPP accueillera le journaliste et auteur primé Vince Beiser. Son dernier livre, Power Metal : The Race for the Resources That Will Shape the Future, explore le sujet des minéraux essentiels aux technologies numériques et aux énergies renouvelables, ainsi que les défis environnementaux et politiques qui accompagnent la course mondiale pour les obtenir. Ayant mené des reportages aux quatre coins du globe, M. Beiser a écrit pour de nombreux médias de premier plan, dont le Guardian, Rolling Stone, le Los Angeles Times, le Wall Street Journal et le New York Times.

Les jeunes chercheurs bénéficient d’une expérience pratique inestimable et d’un mentorat dans la production de recherches rigoureuses et approfondies sur les défis politiques les plus difficiles à relever au Canada.
