It is a 3 year-funded EIT Raw Materials Project that will offer solutions and services to address impacts of resource use in sustainability assessments in the raw materials sector. Euromines is a partner in the project and was the main organiser if this 1-day event.

Raw Materials Week is a series of events organised by the European Commission addressing the latest news on raw materials in the EU. It provides an opportunity for the raw materials community to meet and discuss all relevant issues: policy, technology, international cooperation, framework conditions, knowledge base and so forth. 

A series of elements is required for the raw materials sector since it is the basis for many value chains in Europe, therefore building new alliances and strategies for different value chains is required. The newly published Euromines strategy defines the key measures for the three pillars of the Raw Materials Initiative as well as the way forward to strengthen the existing framework and institutions.
