Assessing the criticality of raw materials: understanding the EU list
The workshop offered by the IRTC project - Luis Tercero, Dieuwertje Schrijvers, Alessandra Hool
In this 5-hours course, participants will be provided with an introduction to criticality and critical raw materials assessment. We will take a deep dive into the EU assessment methodology and you will learn about its composition, factors, indicators, and common data sources. In a hands-on exercise, you will reproduce an EU criticality assessment for selected raw materials, comprehending the influence of factors such as country concentration, political stability, economic sectors, and recycling rates, as well as the indicators determining these factors. You will be provided with frequently used data sources for the indicators, where available, and learn how the choice of these sources and their availability influence the overall result.
After successful completion of the course, you will have an insight into the considerations behind the EU methodology, be able to reproduce a standard procedure of an EU criticality assessment for a given material, and know some of the key considerations in selecting appropriate data sources.
Time: 10 am – 4.30 pm
