The Raw Materials Week is the largest policy event on raw materials, organised by the European Commission since 2016. It attracts over 1,000 participants from industry, administration, civil society, research and academia.
To increase prosperity, the EU works to ensure secure, sustainable and innovative access to raw materials through domestic resources, strategic partnerships, recycling, and circular economy initiatives. We are setting the global standard for responsible sourcing and showing that in terms of raw materials, Europe means business; Europe is a powerhouse.
Join the Raw Materials Week 2024, 9 to 13 December 2024 in Brussels, to explore the dynamic future of raw materials in Europe.
Distinguished speakers from raw materials and strategic sectors like batteries, digital technologies, defence and space will address critical topics during the event. Discussions will include derisking raw material projects with EU and EU countries’ funding, technology and innovation through digital and cutting-edge solutions, boosting domestic supply, enhancing circularity with rare earth permanent magnets, markets trends, and maintaining high environmental and social standards. Cooperation with strategic international partner countries will also be a key focus.
The 11th Annual High-Level Conference on Raw Materials, co-organised with Eumicon, on 11 December 2024, includes debates that focus on the future of EU raw materials policy, especially within the Clean Industrial Deal framework.
