  1. The Future of Extractive Industries in LAC and the Role of STI • Session VII: Strategic Partnerships and dialogues for innovations Dialogue and cooperation opportunities between the European Union and Latin America Luis Cuervo Spottorno Representative for Latin America – Directorate General for Internal Market, Industry, Entrepreneurship and SME's. 22 September 2016

  2. EU Raw materials policy 1. Raw Materials Initiative EU “Raw Materials Initiative” • Aim: securing sustainable supplies of raw materials • Launched in 2008, consolidated in 2011 • Non-energy, non-agricultural raw materials • Connecting EU external and internal policies • Integrated strategy (3 pillars) • Introduced list of Critical • Raw Materials (CRM) in 2010, • updated 20 CRMs in 2014

  3. 1. Raw Materials Initiative State of play - overview Annual report on the implementation of the Raw Materials Initiative – 26.05.2014 State of play 2013 - overview

  4. List of CRM 2014 List of Critical Raw Materials. Outcome 2014 GROW C2

  5. Critical raw materials 1. Raw Materials Initiative CRM  Economic importance + Supply risk * Communication on the review of the list of critical raw materials for the EU and the implementation of the Raw Materials Initiative - COM(2014) 297, 26.5.2014

  6. EIP Objectives 2. European Innovation Partnership on Raw Materials • Overall objective: Contribute to the 2020 objectives of the EU Industrial Policy (to increase the share of industry in GDP to 20%), the Innovation Union and the Resource Efficiency 'flagships' Specific objectives: • Reduce import dependency • Improve supply conditions from European and other sources • Push Europe to the forefront in raw materials sectors • Provide alternatives in supply • Mitigate negative environmental and social impacts

  7. EIP targets 2020 2. EIP on Raw Materials • Up to 10 innovative pilot actions e.g. demonstration pilot plants forexploration, mining, processing, collecting and recycling • Substitutes for at least 3 applications of critical raw materials • Regulatory framework for primary raw materials • Regulatory framework for secondary raw materials • Raw materials knowledge base with raw materials flows and trends • Raw materials network of Research, Education and Training Centres • Pro-active international cooperation strategy of EU at bilateral and multilateral level

  8. Strategic Implementation Plan 2. EIP on Raw Materials SIP adopted on 25 September 2013 • I. Technology Pillar • I.A Raw materials research and innovation coordination • I.B Technologies for primary and secondary raw materials' production • I.C Substitution of raw materials • II. Non-Technology Policy Pillar • II.A Improving Europe's raw materials framework conditions • II.B Improving Europe's waste management framework conditions and excellence • II.C Knowledge, skills and raw materials flows • III. International Cooperation Pillar • III.1 Technology • III.2 Global Raw Materials Governance and Dialogues • III.3 Health, Safety and Environment • III.4 Skills, Education and Knowledge • III.5 Investment activities

  9. 3. Raw Materials in Horizon 2020 Horizon 2020Context and overview SC5. Climate action, environment, resource efficiency and raw materials Excellent science (€ 24 billion) Industrial leadership (€ 17 billion) Societal challenges (€ 31 billion)

  10. Raw materials in SC5 Horizon 2020 Societal Challenge 5 Work Programme 2016-2017 Objective of Societal Challenge No. 5 'Climate action, environment, resource efficiency and raw materials‘: to achieve a resource – and water – efficient and climate change resilient economy and society, the protection and sustainable management of natural resources and ecosystems, and a sustainable supply and use of raw materials, in order to meet the needs of a growing global population within the limits of the planet's natural resources and eco-systems Call - Greening the Economy Climate services Towards a low-carbon Europe Nature-based solutions for territorial resilience Water Raw materials Earth Observation Cultural heritage for sustainable growth Support to policy and preparing for innovation procurement Fast Track to Innovation Pilot SME Instrument * More topics relevant to raw materials under SC2, SC3, SPIRE, Circular Economy, LEIT-NMBP

  11. Raw materials in SC5 Horizon 2020 Societal Challenge 5 Work Programme 2016-2017 Societal Challenge 5 Call 'Greening the economy'. Topics for 2017 will open on 08 November 2016: Raw materials • New solutions for sustainable production of raw materials (1 RIA) • Raw materials Innovation actions (2 IA) • Raw materials policy support actions (5 CSA) • Raw materials international co-operation (1 CSA) Budget • 2017: €76 million Deadlines: • 7 Mar 2017 (RIA, CSA, and First stage of IA) • 5 Sep 2017 (Second stage of IA)

  16. Coordinating and supporting raw materials R&I Horizon 2020 Societal Challenge 5 Work Programme 2016-2017 Example: SC5-16 c) International network of raw materials training centres [2017] • Proposals should: • create a self-sustainable long-term lasting international network of training centres for professionals. • involve educational and research institutions in the EU and the leading counterparts in third countries, based on specific country expertise in the primary and secondary raw materials sectors. • map skills and knowledge in the EU and the third countries, identify key knowledge gaps and emerging needs, develop roadmap for improving skills and knowledge, • establish common training programmes in the raw materials sectors. • International collaboration is required. • where appropriate, synergies with the relevant EU Member States initiatives are to be explored and fostered. • Indicative size of proposals: EUR 1 million

  17. Coordinating and supporting raw materials R&I Horizon 2020 Societal Challenge 5 Work Programme 2016-2017 SC5-16 c) International network of raw materials training centres [2017] • Expected Impact: The project is expected to contribute to: • implementation of the Raw Materials Initiative and achieving the objectives of the EIP on Raw Materials, in particular in terms of establishing and maintaining strong and sustainable relationships with the leading training institutions in the relevant countries; • increasing the EU competence and expertise in the field of the primary and secondary raw materials; • improved availability of qualified and skilled workforce leading to higher competitiveness of the EU raw materials industry; • enhancing the possibility for new cross-sectorial innovations. • Indicative size of proposals: EUR 1 million
