  Dear Earth Science colleagues,

  We would like to inform you about a call launched by EIT Raw Materials
that may be of interest to you or the partners in your networks. EIT
RawMaterials is the largest consortium in the raw materials sector
worldwide. Its vision is to develop raw materials into a major strength
for Europe, but its actions are global.

  CHALLENGE FOR RESPONSIBLE MINING

  Minerals, metals and advanced materials are key enablers to achieve the
objectives of the European Green Deal. Consumers, are  increasingly
demanding low-carbon and responsible supply chains. It is the objective
of EIT RawMaterials to secure a sustainable raw materials supply by
driving innovation, education, and entrepreneurship across European
industrial ecosystems.

  EIT RawMaterials provides a collaborative environment for disruptive
and breakthrough innovations by connecting business with academia,
research, and investment. It also invests in future generation of
innovators for the raw materials sector through initiatives ranging from
education of school students to higher qualifications for industry
professionals. The company is committed to supporting Europe’s
transition towards a circular, green, and digital economy whilst
strengthening its global competitiveness and securing employment. On
this foundation, EIT RawMaterials has been mandated by the European
Commission to lead and manage the European Raw Materials Alliance
(ERMA). EIT RawMaterials is an Innovation Community within the European
Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT).

  Start-ups and SMEs are invited to apply to the Eramet Responsible
Mining Challenge 2021 from June 15 to September 15, 2021. The winning
team will be awarded a collaboration contract with Eramet (up to
€50k), with potential extension to a long-term collaboration.

  Applicable to a wide area ranging from environmentally friendly
exploration, water management, safety and monitoring at mining sites,
mine rehabilitation and biodiversity to traceability of raw materials,
this challenge will make a major contribution to responsible mining.

Innovators are invited to find out more about the challenge and to apply
here: website:

For more information, you will find the joint press release here  [2]

  THE CALL

  Do you have an innovative idea that would make an impact, and fits to
one of Eramet’s focus areas? Eramet seeks innovative technology
solutions that focus on:

  	* ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY EXPLORATION: Large-scale remote sensing and
data integration employing various geophysical and geochemical
exploration methods in remote, densely vegetated and/or difficult to
access terranes that reliably help to target prospective areas for
different commodities with reduced environmental impact and cost & time
savings.
	* WATER MANAGEMENT: Reliable and cost-effective solutions for
monitoring water quality and erosion associated with surface water.
	* Smart solutions to reduce water consumption and emissions (dust,
noise, toxic output) throughout the mining operation.
	* SAFETY AND MONITORING AT REMOTE MINING SITES: The management of
infrastructure (e.g. geotechnically sensitive areas such as tailings
dams, etc.), equipment (e.g, haul trucks), and corresponding data in a
time- and cost-efficient manner, ensuring continuous, real-time
monitoring that leads to increased resource efficiency and safety.
	* MINE REHABILITATION & BIODIVERSITY: Efficient and easy-to-use
solutions in mine rehabilitation and revegetation of mining sites as
well as durable and maintenance-free solutions for biodiversity
(wildlife) tracking.
	* TRACEABILITY OF RAW MATERIALS and processed materials throughout the
operation in a transparent and secure way e.g. by using blockchain
technology

KEY DATES

  	* Launch: 15 June 2021
	* Submission Deadline: 15 September 2021, 20h CET

	* Assessment: 15 September - 20 October
