Raw materials are crucial to Europe’s economy and essential to maintaining and improving our quality of life. Securing reliable and unhindered access to certain raw materials is a growing concern within the EU and across the globe.

SCRREEN will establish a long-lasting Expert Network for critical raw materials; it will combine forces to address all CRM issues: mining, processing, recycling, substitution and final applications, including crosscutting aspects, such as policy/society, technology, standards and markets.

SCRREEN will be producing a series of reports to facilitate decision-making for stakeholders, based on strategic knowledge. This will be made possible by fostering collaboration between experts within the network set up by the project and coordinating a global reflection on CRM policy.
