Smart and Green Mining Regions of EU (REMIX) encourages resource efficient production of raw materials and environmentally and socially acceptable production of raw materials, including critical raw materials. Growth and competitiveness of European industry is currently limited by the state of play in these two areas and policy instruments have been set up across Europe to address these important topics. REMIX brings together 9 partners and 1 advisory partner from 9 countries to work on 8 policy instruments, 5 of them are structural funds. These regions are at different stages in the mining cycle and have complementary resources and profiles. The project will advance innovation in their regional mining value chains, of large and small scale companies. Regions rich in mineral resources have an important strategic role in Europe. Collaboration between EC and regional policy makers is needed to develop complementary approaches, which will boost EU competitiveness and stimulate sustainable development, growth, jobs and new SME industries. The project contains regional meetings to involve all the key stakeholders. Five in-depth international workshops will be targeted to specific topics and two teams will be formed to carry out 9 peer review study visits. Project partners and stakeholders will take part in these activities together, to share knowledge and develop best practice guidelines. The results will be used to improve the policy instruments in each region and forms the Smart and Green interregional mining cluster supporting the Industrial Modernisation and Investment platform. The project continues to phase two to ensure the outcomes are implemented. Two mining conferences will help disseminate the results Europe-wide. The highlights will be communicated direct to the EC at the end of Phase one to help improve EC policy on raw materials. This is an outstanding opportunity to obtain pan-European in-depth consideration of smart and green mining policies.
