ERA-MIN workshop at Raw Materials Summit 2022

21/04/2022

ERA-MIN2 and ERA-MIN3 are organising a joint activity, a workshop entitled: “From lab to market – opportunities for creating a unique collaborative environment for innovations to address raw materials challenges” on the 24th May, between 16:00 and 18:00 (not yet visible in the event program) and an exhibition stand at the RawMaterials Summit conference 2022 which takes place from 23rd to 25th May 2022, in Berlin.

This workshop aims to build the capacity and strengthen the transnational R&I community in primary and secondary raw materials focusing on the cooperation of ERA-MIN with EIT Raw Materials. It further aims to shape and facilitate a multi-stakeholder community of practice, support primary and secondary RM exploitation in research, business, and policy, and establish or strengthen links with other complementary European initiatives and projects interested in cooperating to address common challenges. To maximise the utility and impact of the funded transnational R&I projects, a better linkage with industry-based needs to be addressed. The task force plans to conduct the workshop in a good old fashioned physical way, but attendance is limited; therefore, an event will be "on invitation only".

The outline agenda is the following:

  • Welcome and Introduction to the workshop
  1. Presentation by ERA-MIN
  2. Presentation by EIT RM
  • Work group discussions

Topics (Participants will join only one group)

  1. Social acceptance in raw materials value chains
