@EITRawMaterials @EITeu This is exciting news, well done colleagues!

@dobbelska Well done colleagues! The inspiration to our talented learners is No1!

@jaimedebourbon @JKBonline @jaimedebourbon well done

@dobbelska @MinPres I recall supervising a thesis on this opportunity back in around 2011...it was a good idea then.

@dobbelska The fossil fuel sector show their true colours at this time. Shame on all of them. Shut them down. Period.

Many thanks to @chalmersuniv for hosting the meeting of the @IDEALeague_SG board. I enjoyed the insightful discussions with my colleagues from Zurich, Milano, Aachen and Gothenburg. @ETH_en @RWTHAachen @chalmersuniv @polimi @tudelft

@TimvanderHagen @chalmersuniv @IDEALeague_SG @ETH_en @RWTHAachen @polimi @tudelft Great partners, @MIP_PoliMi

@dobbelska We spend 700m a day on Russian oil and gas. Let us stop that fossil fuel support.

mining.com/goldman-sees-c… Copper could be defined as highly critical? It is already economically highly important, but it could move into high risk of supply insecurity? Want to know more? Our Edx MOOC on CRM starts next week.

fd.nl/politiek/14296… The article highlights the price 'explosion' of metals which could put the brakes on the energy transition. We need more action as the potential 'horror-scenario' unfolds.

@MaakCirculair @CIRCOnl @Circulairebouw @BouwendNL @Dutchinnovation @metaalunie @hetgroenebrein @MinisterieEZK @RVO_Duurzaam @RVO_Nederland Yesterday, I listened to students and researchers present circular building manufacturing. Modular build in factories, based on circular designs, can help us with 1m homes and 55%+ reduction in climate emissions. @BKTUDelft @EITRawMaterials @EITManufactur

Eén door de markt en overheid gedragen centrale bepalingsmethode van de financiële restwaarde van industrieel vervaardigde producten. Dat is het doel van het project 'Normering financiële waardebepaling'. Meer weten? Of wil je jouw inzichten delen? >>circulairemaakindustrie.nl/nieuws/onderzo…

@reneewever @tudelft @idetudelft I agree Renee. Shameful that it was allowed to go on for so long. Now I see more effort to get a better balance. But then a tricky question. Hold back all men till the balance is ideal? 10 years? Moral maze?

@reneewever Looks like Mecano to me. Loved it and teaches so much. As you say, designed to last. No electronics or batteries needed. Powered by imagination.

@hildebentele Thank you @hildebentele , in our EU EIT Raw Materials and EIT Manufacturing projects, we try to raise awareness and understanding about all aspects of critical materials. Much more to do, #IRTC #SusCritMat @EITeu @EITRawMaterials @EITManufactur

Extremely glad about the huge majority of colleagues (543:52:94) who supported my strategic initiative report on #criticalrawmaterials. It shows that colleagues care about the fact that we need a resilient industrial base for the Green Deal and the twin transformation, ... (1/3)

@reneewever Fair point. It can end up messy

@reneewever I have met him a couple of times. Seems like a wise chap to me.

@EITRawMaterials @MarosSefcovic @EU_Growth @EU_Commission Wise words. Materials have always been 'strategic' for societies. In the late 20th century we seemed to forget this. Now, with our climate transition, we have to learn it again. A materials resilient EU is essential.

@uclnews @ProfMarkMaslin @BBCBreakfast @ChiefExecCCC @adamfleming @SustainableUCL @UCLgeography @UCLSocHistSci @UCLEnvironment I wish I could say UK policy makers had been consistent in supporting small island nations in the Global South and building trust internationally, but I agree this needs to be done. Looking forward to change.

"The UK, the small island nations & some of the least developed countries are all pushing for more ambition. It's a trust thing - that we in the developed world ARE going to help poorer nations decarbonise." @ProfMarkMaslin @BBCBreakfast as #COP26 talks continue #UCLGenerationOne

@EITRawMaterials An important event. COP26 largely missed this fundamental aspect of material demand for the transition. We cannot address challenges without building. We may see periodic shortage #suscritmat #irtc
