March 20 @ 13:00 - 14:30
The fourth webinar of the Rare Earth Roundtable Series by EIT RawMaterials powered by the MAGELLAN is about the mining and processing of the rare earths in the EU. Europe possesses several known deposits of rare earth elements (REEs), but the continent has historically been reliant on imports, particularly from China. Recent geopolitical and economic shifts have emphasised the need for Europe to develop its own rare earth supply chain. Europe is making progress toward establishing a sustainable rare earth supply chain.
The webinar will discuss the mining, processing and market challenges as many European deposits contain mixed rare earth ores requiring complex separation processes. Mining techniques need to be optimised to balance economic feasibility with environmental sustainability.
Don’t miss your chance to connect with key players in the rare earth magnets and motors communities, engage in dynamic discussions with experts, and influence strategic conversations that matter to decision-makers across Europe!
