Background, aim and structure

EU “Raw Materials Initiative”

•Aim: securing sustainable supplies of raw materials •Launched in 2008, consolidated in 2011 •Non-energy, non-agricultural raw materials •Connecting EU external and internal policies •Integrated strategy (3 pillars) •Introduced list of Critical Raw Materials (CRM) in 2010

EIP – novel concept

• Speed up breakthrough innovations

• by pooling resources through a challenge-driven approach

• and acting across research and innovation cycle

• bringing together all relevant actors to connect supply and demand side for a societal challenge, covering much more than R&D

• Innovation required for the entire value chain of raw materials – industrial approach

• Exploration, exploitation, processing, using, recycling, substitution, etc.

• Sectors: mining, engineering, pulp and paper, product design, robotics, etc.

Commission adopted the proposal for an Innovation

Partnership on raw materials on 29 February 2012 COM(2012) 82 final

ENTR G3 ENTR F3

Objectives

Overall objective: Contribute to the 2020 objectives of the EU Industrial Policy (to increase the share of industry in GDP to 20%), the Innovation Union and the Resource Efficiency 'flagships'

Specific objectives: Reduce import dependency

Improve supply conditions from European and other sources

Push Europe to the forefront in raw materials sectors

Provide alternatives in supply

Mitigate negative environmental and social impacts
