Engage with PASSENGER at the Raw Materials Week! Organised by the European Commission, this flagship policy event on raw materials gathers every year stakeholders from industry, academia, research organisations and policymakers. The 2024 edition will be held in Brussels on 9-13 December 2024.
PASSENGER will be participating in multiple events throughout the week, presenting its achievements in developing technology for rare earth-free permanent magnets and promoting a shift towards a more sustainable European value chain which is less reliant on critical raw materials.
Horizon Technology Success Stories
- 9 December at 14:00, hear from partner Semih Ener (Technische Universität Darmstadt) in the session on “Horizon Technology Success Stories”, co-organised by the Health and Digital Executive Agency (HaDEA). Find out the programme on the Raw Materials Week website.
