Sourcing the European energy transition from domestic resources – vision or wishful thinking? This question will be addressed at the conference on 25 April 2023. Europe's security of raw material supply will be discussed in the context of its economically exploitable raw material potential and current geopolitics. It examines the existing and future framework conditions for mining projects and their downstream value chain (regulation, financing, permitting).
The conference also focuses on the work of the European Geological Surveys for the territorial mapping of critical raw materials and highlights the potential for cooperation with Africa. On April 26th, a site visit is offered by United Lithium Corp. to Bergby Lake Lithium exploration project.
The conference is hosted by the EU HORIZON 2020 project GREENPEG, in cooperation with the Swedish Mining Association SVEMIN and the European Technology Platform on Sustainable Mineral Resources (ETP SMR) and will take place in Uppsala. Participation is free of charge.
