Building a strong, sustainable raw materials sector in Europe
For the EIT Regional Innovation Scheme (RIS)1 activities, EIT RawMaterials regards the RIS regions as areas where there are opportunities to make an impact in line with our objectives and the overall aim of increasing the innovation level of RIS countries
To secure Europe’s future, we want build a resilient, sustainable supply chain for critical raw materials and advanced materials within Europe. Innovation in mining, materials processing, and recycling is essential to Europe’s industrial independence and underpins high-quality job creation and economic growth, and the vision of the green transition.
