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.

During the ERMA kick-off meeting, we shall report on the progress made to date, and provide further guidance on the scope and structure of the two workstreams. There will be ample time for questions, and during the meeting, we will do a ‘live’ survey of your priorities and expectations. The results of this survey will be used to compile a more extensive questionnaire that will be sent to participants later this year.
