History of the Dialogue
Two leading mining institutions of Russia and Britain – Saint Petersburg Mining University and the Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining (IOM3) – put forward an initiative to organize the Russian-British raw materials dialogue «Trust and cooperation as the major elements of sustainable development» in Saint-Petersburg.
It was important to conduct this type of event within the framework of the year of Russian-British science and education, it was initiated by the British Embassy in Russia, the British Council, and the Government of Russian Federation. The Russian-British dialogue has been widely supported by scientific and business communities of both countries, confirmed by such participants as heads of the Embassy of the United Kingdom and British Council, the Russian-British Chamber of Commerce, the Federation Council and the State Duma of Russian Federation.
There were about 150 participants from Britain including students and young scientists from 13 universities, such as Oxford University, Imperial College London, University of Exeter and heads of 40 British companies. In order to attract greater amount of attention there was organized an online live transmission of the event at 5 sites in Britain: London, Manchester, Edinburgh, Springfield and Exeter.
The agenda included welcome reception at the Embassy of the United Kingdom, closed business sessions, panel discussions and prestige lectures. The dialogue received excellent feedback from the participants and showed its effectiveness in solving the main task - creating a platform for intensifying scientific and economic cooperation between our countries in the area of efficient use of raw materials.
In the final resolution of the 1st Russian-British raw material dialogueit was decided to hold it annually, with an alternation of host countries. Therefore, the second meeting of the Russian-UK Raw Materials Dialogue is to be held in the United Kingdom in October 2018.

Tower Bridge
Is a combined bascule and suspension bridge in London built between 1886 and 1894. The bridge consists of two bridge towers tied together at the upper level by two horizontal walkways, designed to withstand the horizontal tension forces exerted by the suspended sections of the bridge on the landward sides of the towers. The bridge crosses the River Thames close to the Tower of London and has become an iconic symbol of London. -
Westminster Abbey
Is a large, mainly Gothic abbey church in the City of Westminster. It is one of the United Kingdom's most notable religious buildings and the traditional place of coronation and burial site for English and, later, British monarchs. Construction of the present church began in 1245, on the orders of King Henry III. Since the coronation of William the Conqueror in 1066, all coronations of English and British monarchs have been in Westminster Abbey. -
Big Ben
Is the nickname for the Great Bell of the clock at the north end of the Palace of Westminster in London and is usually extended to refer to both the clock and the clock tower. The tower was designed by Augustus Pugin in a neo-gothic style. The tower stands 315 feet (96 m) tall, and the climb from ground level to the belfry is 334 steps. The clock uses its original Victorian mechanism, but an electric motor can be used as a backup. The tower is a British cultural icon recognised all over the world. -
