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 – the 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 InnovationPartnership on raw materials on 29 February 2012COM(2012) 82 final


ENTR G3ENTR 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
