The next session of the Socioeconomic Metabolism section's Perpetual Online Conference is up!
We want to invite you to attend an upcoming online session of the ISEM SEM Perpetual Online Conference on the proposed Critical Raw Materials Act of the European Union.
The proposed act is a cornerstone of the European Union's efforts to promote a secure supply of critical raw materials through various measures, including domestic extraction, re-shoring processing capacities, and more recycling in Europe.
The act has potentially global implications on mineral supply chains and global material flows.
The proposal was announced in March alongside a package with a new list of Strategic and Critical Raw Materials in the EU, a foresight report on the demand for Critical Raw Materials in selected industries, and factsheets on Critical Raw Materials.
In our online session, we want to hear academic, political, and industrial perspectives on the Critical Raw Materials Act, and we are delighted to have excellent speakers from the field.
Date and time: Monday, May 15, 2023, 14:30-16:00 UTC
(16:30-18:00 Berlin, 10:30-12:00 New York, 7:30-9:00 San Francisco, 22:30-24:00 Beijing)
