What is MIREU?

How can European regions ensure a sustained and sustainable supply of mineral raw materials to the EU? The EU project MIREU aims to establish a network of mining and metallurgy regions across Europe, that will help the regions to share knowledge and experiences when facing the challenge to establish and maintain an extractive industry.

Objectives

The MIREU project will bring together European mining and metallurgy regions to work together on improving conditions for the responsible development and secure supply of mineral raw materials in the EU. The regions will share their experiences and knowledge to help tackle the fundamental challenges of establishing and maintaining an extractive industry.

The objectives of the MIREU project:

Map synergies between mining and metallurgy regions;

Identify favourable conditions for raw material development, based on successful projects and best working practices;

Engage with stakeholders and the wider society to raise public awareness about the need for minerals;

Develop EU level Social License to Operate (SLO) Guidelines and an accompanying Toolkit.
