Visit the Symposium on Availability of raw materials from secondary sources and the Special Workshop on Waste Valorization and Critical Raw Materials on April 24 at the UNECE Resource Management Week: https://www.unece.org/index.php?id=47092  

One of the lectures held at the SusCritMat Winter School in Les Diablerets in January is now available for free download: BRGM’s introduction to Criticality by Dominque Guyonnet and Gaëtan Levebre as well as the associated hands-on exercise.

This April, ESM Foundation will co-host this symposium as part of the UNECE Resource Management Week 2018. It reflects on the future availability of secondary raw materials and the need for a unifying global standard – the United Nations Framework Classification (UNFC) – to manage anthropogenic resources in a circular economy, with special reference to valorizing wastes for the recovery of Critical Raw Materials.

Students attending Gymnasium Thun will be able to enjoy a day full of scientific discoveries at the next TecDay.

The registration period for the EMPA’s seminar about Rare and Critical Materials has been extended to February, 16. If you are interested, do not miss to participate before it’s too late!
