EUMICON is a networking platform for strategic discussion processes and technology transfer on the topic of mineral resources. The platform links public entities and institutions, domestic and international interest groups, the mineral resources industry as well as science and research. EUMICON addresses the topic along the entire value creation chain of mineral resources from extraction to treatment and refinement to their use in processing and production all the way to recycling. EUMICON regards sustainable life cycle management as well as responsibility in terms of resources and energy as one of its key responsibilities.
