RIC Leoben is strongly connected to the ESEE region – East and Southeast Europe
The raw material resources of the ESEE region (South-East Europe) as a basis for sustainable development Raw materials are crucial for future technologies and will continue to play an important role in the development of solutions to current challenges, whether in the transition to a circular economy, in the transformation to renewable energy or as part of sustainable mobility concepts.
Due to the geological deposits in the ESEE region (copper, bauxite, lead, zinc, chromium, manganese) and the potential of secondary raw materials, the region is of great importance for the sustainable development of Europe.
Building on the successes of the ESEE Dialogue Conferences, we are implementing a number of education and innovation projects in the ESEE region, which are significantly influenced by local actors.
