Crossroads of Innovation: Shared Raw Materials Challenges

On 21 November 2025, REEPRODUCE took part in “Crossroads of Innovation: Shared Challenges and Joint Solutions in Raw Materials” - a clustering side event co-organised during Raw Materials Week 2025 in Brussels by the REESOURCE project together with ten other Horizon Europe projects active across the raw materials value chain. The workshop was designed to bring together EU-funded projects, industry, and policymakers to discuss common bottlenecks, share concrete solutions, and generate input for a joint policy brief.

Key takeaways from the HaDEA 2nd Showcase Event 2026 in Brussels

The REEPRODUCE project was invited by the European Health and Digital Executive Agency (HaDEA) to participate in its second Showcase Event that took place on 19th January 2026 in the Charlemagne Conference Centre, Brussels.

Results of the hot commissioning of ELKEM’s robot for rare earth alloy recovery

One of the innovations introduced in the high-temperature electrolysis (HTE) pilot to produce rare earth alloys (REA) is the improvement with respect to automation. In REEPRODUCE, ELKEM is responsible for the commissioning and continuous operation of the HTE cell, and the project has achieved an upgraded electrolysis cell compared to the one developed in the H2020 REE4EU project, which is more automated, and with special measures to attain a favourable working environment and increased throughput.
