MIN-GUIDE - EU-Research Project

MIN-GUIDE is a project that addresses the need for a secure and sustainable supply of minerals in Europe by developing a Minerals Policy Guide.In particular, the project supports the European Union and the 28 Member States in the development of a policy framework promoting innovative and sustainable approaches to tackle challenges in the different stages of the mining value chain, from exploration and extraction, processing to mine closure.The project is linked to the European Innovation Partnership on Raw Materials by feeding back its results into the EU policy process.The overarching aim of the project is to help the European Union move towards a supply of raw materials that is more sustainable and secure. MIN-GUIDE objectives are to: provide guidance for EU and Member States minerals policy; facilitate policy decision making; and foster network-building for co-management and knowledge co-creation.To this end, the project involves key policy makers, geological surveys representatives and other stakeholders groups in three different activities.Project duration: 2016-2019MIN-GUIDE is funded by the European Commission under the Horizon 2020 programme.
