We are pleased to invite you to participate in the 6th Greek Raw Materials Community Dialogue that will take place on December 7-8, 2021, as a virtual event.
EIT RawMaterials HUB: Regional Center Greece, established in May 2018 and operated by the Laboratory of Metallurgy of the School of Mining and Metallurgical Engineering NTUA, aims to engage and stimulate the Greek Raw Materials Community through actions on multiple directions, in order to address issues of importance and strengthen the overall position of the RM Sector in Greece, as well as internationally. The project is funded by the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT) and EIT RawMaterials (EITRM).
The Greek Raw Materials Community Dialogue is an established annual event since 2016 and aims to bring together the industry (large and SME), the governance (national and regional), academia and research institutes of Greece along with executive European organizations of the Raw Materials sector as members of the EIT Raw Materials KIC to discuss over the current state in the Greek and EU raw materials sector, address the Knowledge Triangle (academia, research, industry) in political level, present tools and initiatives in EU and Greece that act as facilitators for the sector and examine the innovation needs of the Knowledge Triangle.
Following this tradition, the 6th event focuses on an issue that for more than 3 decades has been a key attribute of good industrial practice in various sectors and more pronounced in the extractive sector, namely the Social License to Operate. The event aims to provide grounds for an open and fruitful dialogue that will approach the significance of this issue in the European context. Towards this direction the discussions will be deployed under 3 thematic pillars namely:
-
“Responsible Mining & Social Acceptance: A dialogue on policy aspects”
-
“Building Trust with Society: A dialogue through Research and Education”
-
“Achieving Social Acceptance in European and Greek RM Ecosystem: A dialogue on best practices”
We are looking forward to welcoming you on-line!
Please register by December 6th 2021 to receive connectivity information. The event will be held in English.
RCGREECE is funded by the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT) and EIT RawMaterials (EITRM).
