Introducing SIGNS: Strategic Impact Group Networks
What are SIGNS?
As raw materials become vital to Europe’s sovereignty and competitiveness, EIT RawMaterials has launched Strategic Impact Group Networks (SIGNs) to strengthen the value chains and collaboration across four critical sectors: Battery Materials, Rare Earths Elements, Green & Circular Metals and Mining & Processing Technologies.
These networks unite partners from industry, policy, research, and academia to tackle four critical challenges: Skills development, Innovation and scale-up, Investment mobilisation and Regulatory advocacy.
