In-person event
Facing rising demand and geopolitical pressures, the EU is seeking to diversify and secure its supply of Critical Raw Materials (CRM). At the same time, the Western Balkans’ extensive legacy of old mine waste and tailings offer a significant yet underexplored potential for secondary CRM recovery.
