Add to Calendar 2026-05-21 10:45:00 EIT RawMaterials Summit 2026: From Design to Recovery: Closing the Loop in Advanced Materials Permanent magnets, specialty alloys, semiconductors, and functional coatings power Europe’s defense, mobility, electronics, and energy systems. But their very complexity also makes them hard to recycle and reintegrate into production cycles. Without a circular approach, Europe risks greater import dependence and significant value loss.   With the Circular Economy Act and the Advanced Materials Act both taking shape in 2026, this session convenes national resource strategists, industry leaders, disruptive innovators, ecosystem builders to examine what it takes to embed circularity into the advanced materials value chains. The discussion will move beyond recycling alone to tackle circularity-by-design, breakthrough recovery technologies, and how to build competitive markets for secondary advanced materials at scale.  Rue Bara 175, 1070 Bruxelles, Belgium, The Egg, Auditorium RAW MATERIALS http://eitrmsummit.com/eit-rawmaterials-summit-2026/design-recovery-closing-loop-advanced-materials Europe/Brussels public
