Dear members and friends of the EIT RawMaterials Community,

I am excited to invite you to the sixth edition of the EIT RawMaterials Expert Forum and to inform you that REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN!

On 27-29 June 2022 in Berlin, the sixth edition of the EIT RawMaterials Expert Forum, Europe's leading raw materials innovation and education exchange, will connect experts and innovators from various parts of different raw materials value chains. We seek input from the Innovation Community to define joint future investment areas. The framework of discussion is defined by our updated EIT RawMaterials Lighthouses.

We will reflect on the EIT RawMaterials project portfolio and will debate new technological advancements and business opportunities, explore industry needs in terms of innovation and education, identify partner interests, and promote matchmaking and consortia formation for project proposal submission. We offer space for pitching new project ideas. This highly collaborative environment will seek to produce radically new ways of addressing raw materials’ sustainability across the supply chains.

Our dependency on 30 critical raw materials signals the urgent need to diversify our raw materials and advanced materials supply chains, which will boost competition and innovation and will make Europe’s industrial ecosystem more resilient. We must together establish strong collaboration within Europe and non-EU countries, and invest in responsible and circular raw materials value chains, from extraction to materials and product design to recycling. Establishing a robust Circular Economy that is fed by sustainable primary raw materials is more pressing than ever.
