to be held at the next EMRS Spring meeting ( Lille 2-6 May 2016).
The Symposium, sponsored by the European Innovation Partnership on Raw Materials commitment RESET, will cover substitution but also topics related to the modeling and recycling of CRMs. See the symposium flier for more information.
Deadline for abstract submission: 15 January 2016
Presented papers will go through blind peer review process and published in Physica Status Solidi C (Selected papers will be published in PSS A or PSS B).

The 3rd annual High Level Conference of the European Innovation Partnership (EIP) on Raw Materials will be held on 9-10 December 2015 in Brussels. It will focus on three parts: EIT Raw Materials, EIP on Raw Materials, and Raw Materials in Horizon 2020.
The conference will start with the part on the new EU co-funded Knowledge and Innovation Community (KIC) on Raw materials called “EIT Raw Materials” and will concentrate on creating new opportunities for businesses and entrepreneurs in the raw materials area.
The EIP part will present a comprehensive overview of developments in the fields covered by the EIP, including the High level panel; successful and new Raw Materials Commitments; regional approaches and investment in raw materials; and launching the 2nd call for the EIP ‘Raw Materials Commitments’. Following the adoption of the Strategic Implementation Plan (SIP) in September 2013, the first set of 80 commitments by over 700 companies, public agencies, research institutes, non-governmental organisations and other stakeholders from all over Europe was launched in 2014. These partners have all committed to contribute in one way or the other to fostering technological and non-technological innovation in Europe’s metallic, mineral and forest-based raw materials value chains.
The Horizon 2020 part will focus on the 2016 Horizon 2020 calls relevant to raw materials and will provide networking opportunities for new initiatives and projects. In parallel the first 28 specific raw materials projects of Horizon 2020 worth €140 million of EC funding were launched in 2014 and 2015.

18:00 Drinks reception and exhibition
An exhibition on graphene will be organised at the European Parliament on the day of the workshop, as well as a drink reception after the meeting, on the first floor of the G area.
One of STOA’s main objectives is to bridge the gap between the scientific community and policy-makers within the European Parliament. It seeks to provide MEPs with information on topical scientific and technological issues relating to Parliament’s role as legislator. To this end STOA organises several public events throughout the year.
STOA aims at initiating and facilitating debates on scientific and technological developments of political relevance. For this purpose, it organises public discussions, including workshops, in which politicians and representatives of the scientific community and society at large can discuss and compare different technological options.
Instructions for egistration and more information can be found at the STOA web portal: http://www.stoa.europarl.europa.eu/stoa/cms/home/events/workshops/graphene
The World Materials Forum is organised in partnership between the GrandNancy Urban Community and companies including ARKEMA, EcoEmballages, ItalCementi, McKinsey&Company, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, PSA Peugeot Citroën, RioTinto, Saint-Gobain, Solvay, Valspar, Veolia, and voestalpine. CEOs from large global companies, from SME’s and start-ups, high-level scientists including Nobel holder Prize Albert Fert, policy-makers will talk and debate with the audience around three themes:
Each theme will be the subject of three workshops, each being chaired by the CEO of one of the partner companies and benefit from the contributions of industry experts and high-level scientists (including Nobel prize holder Albert Fert, who co-di working on the topics to be debated.
Participation will provide you a unique possibility to interact with CEOs and scientists. It may also be an occasion for you to discover the EIT Raw Materials, the largest ever EU programme on mineral raw materials related issues, with nearly 120 partners from industry, academia and research. Co-funded by the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT) it has the ambitious vision of turning the challenge of raw materials dependence into a strategic strength for Europe. Its mission is to boost the competitiveness, growth and attractiveness of the European raw materials sector via radical innovation and entrepreneurship. Read more>>
