Invitation to Stakeholder online Technical Workshop on Reducing Dependencies on Critical Raw Materials with Advanced Materials/

Event Detail
The European Commission invites you to an online workshop on “Reducing Dependencies on Critical Raw Materials (CRMs) with Advanced Materials (AM)” in the mobility, construction, and electronics sectors, taking place on from 9:30 to 13:00 on 25 February 2025.
Project Context
The European Commission’s Communication on Advanced Materials for Industrial Leadership (COM(2024) 98 final) outlines 14 key actions to drive innovation and competitiveness in Europe. One of these actions is to identify the research and innovation needed to reduce dependencies on CRMs by developing alternative Advanced Materials.
To achieve this goal, EU Joint Research Centre (JRC) is leading an in-depth study focusing on mobility, construction, and electronics. Interactions are envisaged with the Strategic Energy Technology (SET) Plan Task force on circularity and materials.
Workshop
This workshop supports Objective 1 of the study, focusing on a detailed analysis of CRM and AM usage in the identified value chains and updating on the outcomes of the SET Plan activities for the Energy sector.
The technical workshop will focus on addressing the following key question:
- What critical raw materials (CRMs) and advanced materials (AMs) are required for key technologies in the mobility, construction, and electronics sectors, and where are they being used?
