November 3 - November 4
As the European Commission advances the Critical Raw Materials Act and prepares the RESourceEU Plan, Europe is entering a decisive phase: moving beyond upstream ambition toward full value chain execution. This conference will focus on translating policy into bankable projects and downstream industrial capacity by aligning demand visibility, financing instruments, and strategic coordination across the value chain. Bringing together industry leaders, OEMs, financiers, and policymakers, the event will define concrete actions to de-risk investment, secure offtakes, and establish globally competitive European rare earth ecosystems.
About the Forum
Hosted by EIT RawMaterials, this Expert Forum combines strategic policy dialogue with industry perspectives, market intelligence, technology showcases and hands-on collaboration.
The programme will explore themes spanning from Europe’s rare earth supply-and-demand outlook, the implementation of the Critical Raw Materials Act and related European initiatives, global competitive pressures, technology and manufacturing gaps, and the demand-side mechanisms required to make European projects investable.
Across two days, participants will take part in multiple forms of discussions and project showcases, networking activities, a factory visit programme and an invite-only working group focused on translating the Forum’s discussions into concrete actions.
Representing REEsilience, Project Coordinator Prof. Dr. Carlo Burkhardt from Pforzheim University will be participating in the Interactive Session “Industry-Focused Starter Packs for the Raw Materials and Advanced Materials Academies” on November 3rd.
