Launch of the International Raw Materials Observatory:
7 November 2017 - 8 November 2017
Belgium
The International Raw Materials Observatory is a new a-political international not-for-profit organisation, set up to support international cooperation on mineral raw materials’ research & innovation, education & outreach, industry & trade and recycling, management & substitution of strategic raw materials. It acts as an independent, honest broker, providing authoritative specialised support on raw materials cooperation, diplomacy and foresight.
The Observatory will be presented at two major events scheduled during the European Commission's Raw Materials Week:
The Observatory's launch will be celebrated during a morning session of the EU-Advanced Mining Countries conference organised by DG Grow on 7 November 2017 (11:00-12:30). In addition, as one of the services the Observatory will provide in the future, an international match-making session between industry and research organisations active in the raw materials sector is organised at the end of this conference (17:20-19:00).

An open roundtable on the challenges of international cooperation is organised on 8 November 2017 (14:00-15:30). The aim of this roundtable is to discuss the challenges of international collaboration on mineral raw materials. The roundtable is co-organised by the International Raw Materials Observatory and FORAM Project.
