Abstract
EIT RawMaterials Hub – Regional Center Adria represents a hub for mineral raw materials stakeholders primary focused on Slovenia and Croatia with the outreach to West Balkan countries.
The founders of the EIT RawMaterials Hub - Regional Centre Adria are the Geological Survey of Slovenia, the Institute of Civil Engineering of Slovenia and the Faculty of Mining, Geology and Petroleum Engineering of the University of Zagreb. In 2023, the Ljubljana University Incubator (LUI) also joined the consortium.
EIT RawMaterials presence in the Western Balkans is essential due to the richness of primary and secondary raw materials in the region and is well aligned with the recent European Union (EU) communication on enlargement perspective and enhanced EU engagement with the Western Balkans. EIT RawMaterials Hub – Regional Center Adria will work as an interface between regional environments and EIT RawMaterials, enabling information about EIT RawMaterials projects and activities. One of the main objectives of the EIT RawMaterials Hub – Regional Center Adria is to encourage networking, project ideas exchange and offering support to potential new partners of the EIT RawMaterials community. For all regional stakeholders, business, education institutions, research organisations and local authorities it represents informational “one-stop shop” for EIT RawMaterials knowledge transfer. At the same time, it connects local raw materials communities with their international EIT RawMaterials counterparts.
EIT RawMaterials Hub – Regional Center Adria represents an excellent opportunity for all regional stakeholders to know more about EIT RawMaterials and to become a member of the world’s largest raw materials community.
Significance for science
EIT RawMaterials RIS HUB Adria is a regional HUB, which connecting actors from raw materials sector in the Western Balkan region, contributing to the development of project ideas and indirectly enhances scientific excellence with the cross sector and border connections.
Significance for the country
EIT RawMaterials RIS HUB Adria with its main goal of connecting the regional raw materials network, position Slovenia as one of the mobilising agents for the sector and regional development.
