• ETP SMR (European Technology Platform on Sustainable MineralResources) – its current President Dr Corina Hebestreit appointedmember of the Industrial Advisory Group for Horizon 2020.
•
ERAMIN (Network of Research Ministers on Raw MaterialResearch) launched its first joined call between Member Statesin 2013 making national RTD funding available and completingthe research funded by the Commission.
• One of the flagship projects of the industry ProMine won aprestigious EU prize for best project awarded in Athens in 2014.
• Ongoing projects such as I2MINE, EURARE, EUROGEOSOURCE,IMPACTMIN, MINERALS4EU, and POLINARES will yield more resultsand can enhance the EU’s competence in mineral rawmaterials.

Meeting “base-load” demand
• Upgrading & maintaining infrastructure(health, transport, energy,…)
•
Accommodating increased urbanisation
• Deploying new sustainable technologies
• Sharing equitably the benefits of new technologies
• Re-balancing lifestyles and employment across EU regions
The mining industry consistently adds more to provenreserves than it takes away

Sustainable production,Environmental-friendly products
15
• Create possibilities to keep production in the EU and attractas much investment in new facilities as possible.
• Extraction of metals and minerals in the EU should be
encouraged.• Developing new mining technologies and exporting them to
the rest of the world.

Resource Efficiency
• Resource Efficiency should yieldoptimum solutions to the trade-offs that exist between differentenvironmental objectives and
the environmental, social andeconomic imperatives ofSustainable Development.
• The result should be an economy
that optimises its use of resourcesand, therefore, results inimproved living conditions andreduced waste globally.

Leadership in innovations
21
• Providing pilot plants and research on mining techniques is a way tostimulate innovation.
• EU mining provides raw materials for numerous greenhouse gasmitigation applications, such as for wind and solar energy farms.
•
High-strength metals help build lighter cars with lower emissions.
• The European Innovation Partnership (‘EIP’) on Raw Materials is animportant attempt to build on Europe’s strengths.
