Horizon Europe projects LITHOS and CICERO bring together experts from both projects 15th of January 2025 to share knowledge and discuss breakthroughs along the value chain – mineral processing of CRM’S. Key topics: the production of lithium hydroxide from alkaline leaching process of spodumene concentrate the role of MSA and its use for the crystallization […]
Collaborative Actions Across the European Raw Material Value Chain We invite you to participate in the LITHOS joint session at the European Geoscience Union (EGU) flagship event in Vienna. The LITHOS team will co-organise a session titled “Collaborative Actions Across the European Raw Material Value Chain” at the EGU meeting scheduled to take place from 27 […]
Critical Raw Materials (CRMs) are essential for enabling modern technologies, particularly in renewable energy systems, electric vehicles, long-duration energy storage (LDES), and digital infrastructure. These materials are fundamental to the European Union’s strategic objectives for climate neutrality and digital transformation and are central to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)1. In response to escalating geopolitical and […]

LiTHOS will be participating in this year’s edition of OECD Conference of Mining Regions and Cities. The gathering will convene stakeholders from across the public and private sectors, academia, civil society organisations, and Indigenous representatives to discuss well-being in mining regions, focusing on two pillars: (i) Strengthening community engagement, trust, and communication in the mining […]
On 16 September 2025, the Geological Survey of Estonia will host the international conference “Social License to Operate: Responsible Mineral Exploration” at the Hestia Hotel Europa in Tallinn. The event, organised under the EGT-TWINN project in cooperation with the Geological Surveys of Finland, Denmark, and the United Kingdom, as well as the Oulu Mining School, will gather […]
On the 23rd of September 2025, LITHOS a long with the Horizon Europe project ENICON, the Research Fund for Coal and Steal (RFCS) projects GrEnMine, MidSafe, REECOL and the Erasmus+ project IMMERSE, co-organize a Clustering Workshop on Sustainable Pathways in Critical Raw Materials and Post-Mining Transition in the frame of 4th International Conference on Responsible […]
Join us in Brussels at a KU Leuven and EUROMINES co-organised event during EU Raw Materials Week for a debate on lithium, covering its environmental, economic, industrial, geopolitical and social dimensions — immediately following the screening of Europe’s Lithium Paradox. The documentary offers a compelling exploration of lithium’s crucial role in Europe’s ambition to become the […]
