REGIONAL CENTER ADRIA EIT RAWMATERIALS HUB

Innovation and Technology. EIT RawMaterials vision is to develop raw materials into a major strength for Europe. Its mission is to enable sustainable competitiveness of the European minerals, metals and materials sector along the value chain by driving innovation, education, and entrepreneurship. EIT RawMaterials is a pan-European partner network covering entire raw material value chain with more than 120 Core and Associated partners from all three sides of Knowledge Triangle – research, education and industry. We are representing the world’s largest community in the raw materials sector. Slovenia and Croatia are covered by Eastern Co-location center and are represented by 2 Slovenian partners (Geological Survey of Slovenia and Slovenian National Building and Civil Engineering Institute) and Croatia by Faculty of Mining, Geology and Petroleum Engineering University of Zagreb. To achieve radical Innovation along the Raw Materials Value Chain the following Knowledge and Innovation Themes are defined: Exploration, Mines for Modern Society, Develop and improve processing, Substitution, Recycling and Circular Economy. These themes are addressed with three groups of activities: 1. Matchmaking and networking, 2. Acceleration and 3. Education Activities. Specific activities within the EIT Regional Innovation scheme (RIS) focus on countries with limited or no participation in the EIT Community’s activities, where innovation capacity is moderate or modest (by European Commission Scorebord) and which otherwise would not be able to benefit from the experience gained by the KICs. Most activities implemented by Slovenian and Croatian partners are funded as Regional Innovation Scheme projects, focusing on involvement of ESEE countries in the KICs activities. With the same mission Regional center Adria – EIT RawMaterials hub was established in the beginning of 2018, so 2019 is our second implementation year. RC Adria’s has 3 founding members (all three mentioned institutions) covering Slovenia and Croatia with an outreach to SEE/Western Balkan countries (Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, North Macedonia and Serbia). RC Adria’s basic activities are: - Interface between EIT RawMaterials and local RIS SEE knowledge triangle - Offer information about EIT RawMaterials funding, networking events, new potential business partners, project ideas and business support for stakeholders from SEE region - Provide expertise to national, regional and local authorities - Mobilise, connect and internationalise national/regional networks - Identify funding and project opportunities - Contribute to project ‘s development and implementation In 2019 RC Adria’s most important activities are: - Two matchmaking and networking events – one in Croatia and one in Slovenia: Croatia Waste Expo and Industry Symbiosis Workshop – 22 October 2019, Zagreb ADRIA Innovation Day 2019 with a title Innovation in primary and secondary raw materials sector in the South-East Europe is going to be held on 23 October 2019, in Hoteli Bernardin, resort and conference centre in Portorož-Portorose, Slovenia.
