During the first reporting period, the SCRREEN3 project reached several milestones. Among them the development of the Factsheet Digitalization Tool (FDT). Completed by June 2024, this tool enabled the structured and more efficient drafting of factsheets, which commenced in early 2025. All the factsheet have been drafted during the fisrt period. They will need to be updated after the validation workshops.
In addition to the FDT, two Outlook Reports and two Ad-Hoc Requests were produced, contributing to the project’s broader analytical objectives.
Another key event was the half-day SCRREEN3–IRTC joint conference, held during the Raw Materials Week 2024 in December. Under the theme “Critical Raw Materials Intelligence – From Data to Decisions,” the conference gathered stakeholders to explore the role of intelligence tools in raw materials policy and planning. The SCRREEN3 team also conducted exclusive interviews with leading experts, who shared their insights on challenges such as policy frameworks, international collaboration, sustainability strategies, supply risk management, and the use of innovative decision-support tools.
Lastly, as part of the project's outreach and communication activities, the first educational video titled “Meet Emily” was launched in the first quarter of 2025. This video forms part of the SCRREEN3 Public Awareness and Education Campaign, aiming to engage a broader audience and raise awareness about the importance of critical raw materials in everyday life.
Another highlight of the reporting period was the in-depth workshop organised on July 1st, 2025, in Brussels. This event focused on the strategic topic of the European battery industry, bringing together key stakeholders from industry, policy, and research. The workshop fostered interactive discussions and knowledge exchange, resulting in a set of targeted recommendations aimed at strengthening the EU's battery value chain and supporting the critical raw materials agenda.
