The Raw Materials Week is an annual event that brings together stakeholders from European institutions, industry, governments, academia, and civil society to discuss the latest developments in raw materials policy and innovation in the EU. It offers a unique opportunity to explore the strategic importance of raw materials, share knowledge, and network with key actors in the field.
