ERMA – Why Europe Needs a Raw Materials Alliance
12 November 2020 at 16:00 - 17:30
On 12 November, Klowlegde4Innovation will organise a session with Bernd Schäfer, CEO of EIT RawMaterials, and the Members of the European Parliament Anna-Michelle Asimakopoulou and Maria da Graça Carvalho to discuss the importance of the Raw Materials Alliance in Europe.
The European Raw Materials Alliance (ERMA) aims to make Europe economically more resilient by diversifying its supply chains, creating jobs, attracting investments to the raw materials value chain, fostering innovation, training young talents and contributing to the best enabling framework for raw materials and the Circular Economy worldwide. The Alliance addresses the challenge of securing access to sustainable raw materials, advanced materials, and industrial processing know-how. By 2030, ERMA’s activities will increase the production of raw and advanced materials and address Circular Economy by boosting the recovery and recycling of Critical Raw Materials. ERMA is an open and inclusive alliance that provides an open and independent forum for discussion and analysis, as well as a mechanism for translating potential projects into actual activities and infrastructures that will contribute to creating longlasting added value and jobs for Europe.
