Overview of the Raw Materials Week
The core programme, organised by the European Commission, will take place from 18 to 20 November 2025, featuring high-level sessions, policy discussions, and networking opportunities focused on the sustainable and secure supply of raw materials in Europe.
The Raw Materials Week is an annual event that brings together stakeholders from European institutions, industry, governments, academia, and civil society to discuss the latest developments in raw materials policy and innovation in the EU. It offers a unique opportunity to explore the strategic importance of raw materials, share knowledge, and network with key actors in the field.
This edition focuses on the progress in implementing the Critical Raw Materials Act, advancing strategic projects, streamlining permitting, and mobilising sustainable investment. Core discussions will centre on building robust and diversified strategic supply chains, boosting domestic production, promoting circularity, and strengthening international partnerships to enhance competitiveness and build a resilient industrial future in Europe.
