On Wednesday, November 20, 2024, the I-SENSE Group participated in the 9th Greek Raw Materials Community Dialogue, a pivotal event dedicated to the future of raw materials and the latest developments in sustainable resource management. The event brought together experts, policymakers, researchers, and industry leaders, providing a platform for meaningful exchanges and forward-thinking discussions.
The 9th Greek Raw Materials Community Dialogue was addressed to all stakeholders involved in the sustainable development of the raw materials sector in Greece, underlining the critical role of policymakers, producers, and manufacturers.
The Critical Raw Materials Act (CRMA), the cornerstone of the EU’s strategy to enhance raw materials capacities, stands as a strategic response to the escalating global demand for Critical Raw Materials essential for the EU’s green and digital transitions. The CRM Act guides the EU towards effectively managing the challenges faced by global Critical and Strategic Raw Materials markets by pursuing diversification of resources, improving domestic production, and enhancing recycling capabilities.
Georgios Tsimiklis took part in Session 2, entitled as “The Need to Innovate and the Conditions to Implement – Bridging the Gap.” In his presentation, he highlighted the role of hyperspectral imaging, from the exploration phase to mineral classification.
Additionally, during the Poster Session, innovative solutions for Critical Raw Materials (CRM) were presented from our team’s research projects, including: OPTIMINER, Wood2Wood, PRIM-ROCK, TERRAVISION, MASTERMINE, THESEUS.
Our participation at the event was not only scientific but also included a sponsorship role, further demonstrating our commitment to promoting innovation and sustainability in the raw materials sector. Through our support, we aim to foster collaboration and inspire progress in sustainable resource management. Our team was represented by Georgios Tsimiklis, Fotis Konstantinidis, Nikoletta Karitsioti and Katerina-Erato Zouroufidou.
