Europe's mining regions have worked together for years to strengthen regional innovation ecosystems around mining and mineral raw materials, creating a breeding ground for new initiatives and joint EU-funded projects. Today, this cooperation is more important than ever. Europe cannot secure sustainable supplies of critical raw materials without its mining regions, and this is a matter for Europe as a whole.
How can regional innovation ecosystems, cross-border cooperation and EU funding instruments work together to strengthen Europe's raw materials value chains? The discussion will bring together perspectives from the European Commission, the European Parliament, the OECD, the mining industry and Europe's mining regions.
The European Committee of the Regions is hosting the event but is not responsible for its content.
