From Strategy to Industrial Strength: Europe’s Critical Raw Materials Centre

Europe has put the policies for critical raw materials in place. Now it needs to turn ambition into action.

In a new position paper, EIT RawMaterials sets out a practical vision for how the Centre could deliver this — and the role EIT RawMaterials could play in making it happen.
