Critical Materials & Battery Value Chains Europe 2026 is a two-day European event bringing together research, industry and policy actors to address the strategic, technological and societal challenges shaping the upstream battery value chain in Europe.

Our team will join over 1,000 participants, including industry leaders, innovators, and policymakers to the 8th edition of the EIT RawMaterials Summit organized in Brussels, 19-21 May 2026, to connect, collaborate, and address the most pressing topics for our sector.

Comment mieux identifier, extraire et recycler les aimants permanents afin de réduire les pertes de ressources stratégiques ? Comment développer, en Europe, des filières industrielles capables de répondre à ces nouveaux enjeux de souveraineté et de durabilité ?

David Bastin (GeMMe) et Gregory Lewis (Groupe COMET) apporteront des réponses concrètes lors de cette rencontre-conférence Liege Creative organisée le 21 mai 2026.

The conference ECHO 2026 – Sustainability and the Circular Future with UniGR-CIRKLA, organized by Saarland University in collaboration with the Interreg project UniGR-CIRKLA, brings together researchers, practitioners, policymakers, and educators to explore the latest developments in circular economy and sustainability.

The event is part of the Interreg-UniGR-CIRKLA project, funded by the Interreg Grande Région 2021-2027 program.

With a specific focus on early career researchers, participants will have the chance to share and discuss experiences, present their work, and build networks across disciplines and regions.
