The “International Round Table on Materials Criticality” (IRTC) funded by EIT RawMaterials, has a crucial role in the international debate on criticality.
Some very interesting contributions during our first four sessions, the keynote conversation and the speed presentations at #IRTC24 yesterday.

The second day of #IRTC24 began with a warm welcome by the conference organisers and the Ministry of Industry and Made in Torino and Politecnico di Torino!
An Opening Speech by Didier Zimmermann and an indigenous perspective on CRMs followed this.
We had a great end to a successful first day of #IRTC24 with an engaging plenary discussion hosted by Claudia Baranzelli followed by networking during an apéro dinner.
I was delighted to deliver the opening speech at the #IRTC2023 & partake in conversations about #RawMaterials criticality to predict quantitative needs & prevent value chain disruptions in Europe. Join us at the #RMSummit2023 to hear more on this matter.

Time to (#CriticalRawMaterials) Act!
Constanze Veeh of @EU_Growth updating on the upcoming CRM Act at #IRTC2023, fielding some challenging questions.
Stresses importance of (access to) #mining and #refining in 🇪🇺 and that EC is very well aware of this. Practice is challenging.
'From emissions to resources'! Talking about why raw materials are so crucial for our energy transition @IRTC_conference in Lille, France.
Material efficiency, substitution, recycling and 'relocalisation' of current mining and refining activities are crucial!

A very interesting lecture by Pierre Heeroma, SVP Strategic Project at @LKABgroup about « the Rare Earth Discovery in Kiruna and its impact on European supply security ». 🎤

Analysis of Ukraine / Russia war disruptions to #criticalminerals by Magnus Ericson from RMG at #irtc2023
Conclusion: very little impacts on Russia! Ni exports continue. Gold exports doubled. Calls for sanctions to begin.
1/2 @EITRawMaterials @schaefer_eitrm opening #IRTC2023:
EU must act now to strengthen competitiveness and combat stagnation, regression, and massive dependencies in resources and knowledge.
The #CriticalRawMaterialsAct is a major and unprecedented tool in this.
