EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The purpose of this deliverable is to set out a strategy for the communication and dissemination activities carried out by the consortium with a primary objective to support sustainable uptake of project results by end users Target user groups have been identified and ways to reach them have been developed As a dynamic document it will be updated if necessary even after its formal delivery

INTRODUCTION

WP10 Dissemination and Communication as described in the DoA aims at increasing the project impacts

through a wide dissemination of the project results and the intense communication of its achievement The

specific objectives of WP10 include

Spreading information on the projectrsquos activities and results widely among stakeholders

Ensuring the right coordination among the Expert Network and Clustering to increase EU CRM

knowledge through an integrated targeted and participatory dissemination approach

Assuring continuation and sustainability of the Network beyond the project thus paving the way for

the continuous uptake of the results across the relevant European and international communities

Establishing synergies and boosting new collaboration with external parties such as public authorities

and international organizations to utilize a multiplier effect thus contributing to knowledge building

and best practices diffusion in Europe and beyond avoiding overlap of different projects

Linking to the ECrsquos coordination activities for a EU Knowledge Base on Raw Materials in particular to

facilitate its Raw Materials Information System

As a first step SCRREEN will prepare a Specific Measurable Agreed upon Realistic Time-based dissemination

plan considering the bidirectional flow of information paramount to SCRREEN

Gathering and incorporating input from external stakeholders via expert consultation to achieve work

package objectives and

Raising awareness of the CRM issue and disseminating project results to the external stakeholder

community

This project has received funding from the European Unionrsquos Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 730227

SCRREEN D102 Dissemination amp Exploitation Plan Rev05 8

CONTEXT AND VALUE PROPOSITION

Raw materials are crucial to Europersquos economy and essential to maintaining and improving our quality of life

Securing reliable and unhindered access to certain raw materials is a growing concern within the EU and across

the globe

Figure 1 World production of CRMs (EC 2014)1

To address this challenge the European Commission has created a list of Critical Raw Materials that combine a

high economic importance to the EU with a high risk associated with their supply

Periodically the European Commission publishes a list of CRMs based on a criticality assessment at EU level on

a wide range of raw materials The first list published in 2010 contained 14 CRMs The revised list published in

2014 included additional CRMs reaching a total of 20 CRMS The next list is expected to be published by mid-

2017

The list of CRMs should help to

Implement the EUrsquos industrial policy and strengthen industrial competitiveness

Stimulate the production of CRMs and the launch of new mining activities in the EU

Prioritize actions negotiate trade agreements challenge trade distortion measures

and promote research and innovation

Since the establishment of the Raw Material Initiative by the European Commission and the publication of the first list of Critical Raw Materials many European projects have addressed part of their value chains and several

SCRREEN D102 Dissemination amp Exploitation Plan Rev05 9

initiatives have contributed to gather the community into clusters and associations In parallel this has led to the generation of significant knowledge which has been disseminated in a great number of documents Many databases have also been developed to help gather this information but they have sometimes duplicated existing work Past ongoing and recent networks and projects

2 have produced several in-depth

studies that have created a good level of baseline information on several CRMs

In addition several associations have contributed to structuring the community covering nearly all of the fields related to raw materials and including CRMs in particular The EC itself has initiated several activities including the further development of the RMIS to facilitate its needs with regards to the European Union Knowledge Base on RMs with links to the EIP on Raw Materials and to the EIT- KICs amongst others

However associated stakeholders are divided into numerous associations networks and infrastructures

covering each part of the value chains but often with overlaps Despite the numerous initiatives several CRMs

and their value chains are today poorly addressed in European RampDampI projects

There is lack of harmonized regulations and standardization particularly in WEEE and EOL products treatment

SCRREEN will address these challenges and contribute to improving Europersquos CRM strategy by

Identifying primary and secondary resources as well as substitutes of CRMs and their respective

qualities which are available to Europe (mapping assessing quantifying) in an international context

Estimating the expected EU demand for various CRMs in the future and identifying major trends

Providing policy and technology recommendations and actions for the production of various primary

and secondary CRMs and for their potential substitution in order to secure their supply and decrease

the relative dependence on imports

Providing a plan for transparent consultation with relevant external stakeholders and effective

communication of the findings to the professional and general public across the EU

Addressing EOL products and specifically WEEE issues in particular their mapping and treatment

standardization with regards to CENELEC standards

Allowing for possible changes in the CRM list by offering quick flexibility through value chain

approaches and efficient solutions for the integration of relevant stakeholders in the SCRREEN

network

ROADMAP FOR THE DISSEMINATION AND COMMUNICATION ACTIVITIES

The role of Dissemination and Communication activities is to broaden SCRREEN impacts by raising awareness

on the project results among relevant stakeholders and general public Thus a clear and efficient plan has been

drawn in order to a clear timetable with all the necessary activities to involve as many people as possible

SCRREEN D102 Dissemination amp Exploitation Plan Rev05 10

During the first 6 months of the project the WP leader (ENCO) supported by the project partners establish

proper mechanisms and methods to valorize and spread all non confidential results to the identified target

groups In particular all the Dissemination and Communication materials will be collected defining project

identity and establishing project visibility furthermore the Expert Group will be defined

From M7 a new phase will be launched to start engaging target audience groups and to promote the project

Finally the capitalization of SCRREEN results will start from M25 during this phase mechanisms to ensure a

long-lasting visibility and impact of the SCRREEN Project outcomes are set up

The Figure 1 represents the roadmap that has been designed to reach the EampD objectives defined under

paragraph 31 in a timely and adequate manner

Figure 2 Communication and Dissemination phases

QUALITY MANAGEMENT

The Dissemination and Exploitation Plan sets up rules and criteria to ensure the smooth management and

effective implementation of the dissemination activities Thus the WP Leader envisages lying down specific

procedures for releasing publications and presentations consistent with the Grant Agreement (GA) and

Consortium Agreement (CA) Moreover a set of KPIs has been established as benchmarks for evaluating the

effectiveness and the impact of the dissemination communication and exploitation activities

APPROVAL PROCEDURES FOR PUBLICATIONS AND PRESENTATIONS

Project dissemination activities are governed by art 29 of the GA and art 83 of the CA

ldquoA beneficiary that intends to disseminate its results must give advance notice to the other beneficiaries of -

unless agreed otherwise - at least 45 days together with sufficient information on the results it will

disseminate Any other beneficiary may object within - unless agreed otherwise - 30 days of receiving

notification if it can show that its legitimate interests in relation to the results or background would be

significantly harmed In such cases the dissemination may not take place unless appropriate steps are taken to

safeguard these legitimate interestsrdquo

This project has received funding from the European Unionrsquos Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 730227

DISSEMINATION STRATEGY

A mix of strategic channels and tools has been selected to catch the target groupsrsquo attention on SCRREEN

activities and results focusing in particular on the following aspects To whom (the audience) ndash How (the

method) ndash Why (the purpose of EampD activities) ndash What (the message) ndash When (the timing)

OBJECTIVES OF THE DISSEMINATION ACTIVITIES

Dissemination activities are crucial to create awareness about SCREEN results and to extensively propagate

tangible and intangible assets developed through the project to as wide and relevant audiences as possible and

to fine tune a set of measures to ensure that target groups have access to these results

In particular the following objectives will be pursued during the project activities

To catalyze and animate a permanent critical mass of stakeholders around a common high impact

challenge (importance and supply of CRMs) and opportunity (recovery of CRMs from WEEE and other

EOL products innovative solutions and emerging markets etc)

To inform and engage a variety of target audiences promoting the project findings to the professional

and the general public across the EU

To disseminate the knowledge and findings with all the stakeholder groups widely and efficiently

while supporting better-informed decision-making processes at EU and national level

All the objectives listed above have the final aim of providing bases for further actions starting from SCRREEN

results accelerating innovation involve citizens and society

ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

ENCO acts as WP 10 Leader and will lead SCRREEN EampD activities according to the plan defined in this

document As WP leader ENCO main responsibilities consist of

Table 9 Partner responsible for communication activities

The main aim of SCRREEN communication activities is the engaging with general public tackling two important

challenges 1) lack of general importance on CRMs 2) rising of environmental and social concerns due to

mining activities and generated waste

In line with the Strategic Implementation Plan of the EIP on Raw Materials the general awareness actions that

will be carried out in SCRREEN will aim to generate acceptance and open the path to building trust towards the

sector through improved communication and transparency using appropriate language This public support is

essential to justify the RampD activities and industrial projects that are needed to overcome this dependency in

Europe

The awareness campaign in SCRREEN constitutes a first step towards trust-building it sets the foundation for a

long-term dialogue with subsequent actions to be undertaken by the Expert Network on a continuous basis It

will consist of visual elements carrying key messages aiming to popularize this complex subject and to bring

the issue closer to peoplersquos lives by making it more understandable The campaign will be rolled out through

various channels and tools over a 12-month period with two approaches 1) Push communication mainstream

and specialized media will be targeted to promote the campaign the project and raising awareness on the CRM

issues and solutions two press releases will be issued and a PR agency will be contracted to push these into

appropriate press contacts Online sciencetechnical magazines and relevant blogs with a general audience will

be contacted and targeted to act as relays for our campaign and key messages 2) Pull communication and

dialogue building through Social media (Twitter LinkedIn Instagram) and using SCRREEN public website

This project has received funding from the European Unionrsquos Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 730227

SCRREEN D102 Dissemination amp Exploitation Plan Rev05 23

The figure below summarizes the steps to involve general public

Figure 4 Awareness campaign steps

MESSAGES TO BE CONVEYED

A set of key messages will be developed specifically to inform and educate the general public on critical raw

materials in order to build knowledge that will allow engaging in a dialogue These messages will focus on the

main issues at stake listed below

Raw materials essential elements in todayrsquos industrial production are crucial for the sustainable

functioning of our economy

A shortage of rare earth elements used in everything from electric car batteries to solar panels to

wind turbines will hamper the growth of renewable energy technologies

The increasing demand for raw materials has become a geopolitical issue as a great share of the

worldwide production of CRMs is concentrated in a few countries threatening to affect our

economies if these countries cut back on exports

Although Europersquos dependence on foreign imports of raw materials poses serious risks in terms of

supply price volatility and market distortions many potential business opportunities have risen in

recent years

Waste recycling can allow for a more sustainable use of valuable raw materials and may be one of the

solutions to the environmental impacts of mining and to Europersquos dependence on foreign resources

Europe must find substitutes and develop innovative clean and sustainable technologies for the

exploration extraction and processing of raw materials

The development of the specific messages above will be used to build the general awareness campaign

COMMUNICATION TOOLS AND ACTIVITIES

The reach the objectives listed above a set of tools and channels will be used as described below Please note

that some of them will be also used for dissemination purposes

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The purpose of this deliverable is to set out a strategy for the communication and dissemination activities carried out by the consortium with a primary objective to support sustainable uptake of project results by end users Target user groups have been identified and ways to reach them have been developed As a dynamic document it will be updated if necessary even after its formal delivery

INTRODUCTION

WP10 Dissemination and Communication as described in the DoA aims at increasing the project impacts

through a wide dissemination of the project results and the intense communication of its achievement The

specific objectives of WP10 include

Spreading information on the projectrsquos activities and results widely among stakeholders

Ensuring the right coordination among the Expert Network and Clustering to increase EU CRM

knowledge through an integrated targeted and participatory dissemination approach

Assuring continuation and sustainability of the Network beyond the project thus paving the way for

the continuous uptake of the results across the relevant European and international communities

Establishing synergies and boosting new collaboration with external parties such as public authorities

and international organizations to utilize a multiplier effect thus contributing to knowledge building

and best practices diffusion in Europe and beyond avoiding overlap of different projects

Linking to the ECrsquos coordination activities for a EU Knowledge Base on Raw Materials in particular to

facilitate its Raw Materials Information System

As a first step SCRREEN will prepare a Specific Measurable Agreed upon Realistic Time-based dissemination

plan considering the bidirectional flow of information paramount to SCRREEN

Gathering and incorporating input from external stakeholders via expert consultation to achieve work

package objectives and

Raising awareness of the CRM issue and disseminating project results to the external stakeholder

community

CONTEXT AND VALUE PROPOSITION

Raw materials are crucial to Europersquos economy and essential to maintaining and improving our quality of life

Securing reliable and unhindered access to certain raw materials is a growing concern within the EU and across

the globe

Figure 1 World production of CRMs (EC 2014)1

To address this challenge the European Commission has created a list of Critical Raw Materials that combine a

high economic importance to the EU with a high risk associated with their supply

Periodically the European Commission publishes a list of CRMs based on a criticality assessment at EU level on

a wide range of raw materials The first list published in 2010 contained 14 CRMs The revised list published in

2014 included additional CRMs reaching a total of 20 CRMS The next list is expected to be published by mid-

2017

The list of CRMs should help to

Implement the EUrsquos industrial policy and strengthen industrial competitiveness

Stimulate the production of CRMs and the launch of new mining activities in the EU

Prioritize actions negotiate trade agreements challenge trade distortion measures

and promote research and innovation

Since the establishment of the Raw Material Initiative by the European Commission and the publication of the first list of Critical Raw Materials many European projects have addressed part of their value chains and several

SCRREEN D102 Dissemination amp Exploitation Plan Rev05 9

initiatives have contributed to gather the community into clusters and associations In parallel this has led to the generation of significant knowledge which has been disseminated in a great number of documents Many databases have also been developed to help gather this information but they have sometimes duplicated existing work Past ongoing and recent networks and projects

2 have produced several in-depth

studies that have created a good level of baseline information on several CRMs

In addition several associations have contributed to structuring the community covering nearly all of the fields related to raw materials and including CRMs in particular The EC itself has initiated several activities including the further development of the RMIS to facilitate its needs with regards to the European Union Knowledge Base on RMs with links to the EIP on Raw Materials and to the EIT- KICs amongst others

However associated stakeholders are divided into numerous associations networks and infrastructures

covering each part of the value chains but often with overlaps Despite the numerous initiatives several CRMs

and their value chains are today poorly addressed in European RampDampI projects

There is lack of harmonized regulations and standardization particularly in WEEE and EOL products treatment

SCRREEN will address these challenges and contribute to improving Europersquos CRM strategy by

Identifying primary and secondary resources as well as substitutes of CRMs and their respective

qualities which are available to Europe (mapping assessing quantifying) in an international context

Estimating the expected EU demand for various CRMs in the future and identifying major trends

Providing policy and technology recommendations and actions for the production of various primary

and secondary CRMs and for their potential substitution in order to secure their supply and decrease

the relative dependence on imports

Providing a plan for transparent consultation with relevant external stakeholders and effective

communication of the findings to the professional and general public across the EU

Addressing EOL products and specifically WEEE issues in particular their mapping and treatment

standardization with regards to CENELEC standards

Allowing for possible changes in the CRM list by offering quick flexibility through value chain

approaches and efficient solutions for the integration of relevant stakeholders in the SCRREEN

network

ROADMAP FOR THE DISSEMINATION AND COMMUNICATION ACTIVITIES

The role of Dissemination and Communication activities is to broaden SCRREEN impacts by raising awareness

on the project results among relevant stakeholders and general public Thus a clear and efficient plan has been

drawn in order to a clear timetable with all the necessary activities to involve as many people as possible

SCRREEN D102 Dissemination amp Exploitation Plan Rev05 10

During the first 6 months of the project the WP leader (ENCO) supported by the project partners establish

proper mechanisms and methods to valorize and spread all non confidential results to the identified target

groups In particular all the Dissemination and Communication materials will be collected defining project

identity and establishing project visibility furthermore the Expert Group will be defined

From M7 a new phase will be launched to start engaging target audience groups and to promote the project

Finally the capitalization of SCRREEN results will start from M25 during this phase mechanisms to ensure a

long-lasting visibility and impact of the SCRREEN Project outcomes are set up

The Figure 1 represents the roadmap that has been designed to reach the EampD objectives defined under

paragraph 31 in a timely and adequate manner

Figure 2 Communication and Dissemination phases

QUALITY MANAGEMENT

The Dissemination and Exploitation Plan sets up rules and criteria to ensure the smooth management and

effective implementation of the dissemination activities Thus the WP Leader envisages lying down specific

procedures for releasing publications and presentations consistent with the Grant Agreement (GA) and

Consortium Agreement (CA) Moreover a set of KPIs has been established as benchmarks for evaluating the

effectiveness and the impact of the dissemination communication and exploitation activities

APPROVAL PROCEDURES FOR PUBLICATIONS AND PRESENTATIONS

A mix of strategic channels and tools has been selected to catch the target groupsrsquo attention on SCRREEN

activities and results focusing in particular on the following aspects To whom (the audience) ndash How (the

method) ndash Why (the purpose of EampD activities) ndash What (the message) ndash When (the timing)

OBJECTIVES OF THE DISSEMINATION ACTIVITIES

Dissemination activities are crucial to create awareness about SCREEN results and to extensively propagate

tangible and intangible assets developed through the project to as wide and relevant audiences as possible and

to fine tune a set of measures to ensure that target groups have access to these results

In particular the following objectives will be pursued during the project activities

To catalyze and animate a permanent critical mass of stakeholders around a common high impact

challenge (importance and supply of CRMs) and opportunity (recovery of CRMs from WEEE and other

EOL products innovative solutions and emerging markets etc)

To inform and engage a variety of target audiences promoting the project findings to the professional

and the general public across the EU

To disseminate the knowledge and findings with all the stakeholder groups widely and efficiently

while supporting better-informed decision-making processes at EU and national level

All the objectives listed above have the final aim of providing bases for further actions starting from SCRREEN

results accelerating innovation involve citizens and society

Table 9 Partner responsible for communication activities

The main aim of SCRREEN communication activities is the engaging with general public tackling two important

challenges 1) lack of general importance on CRMs 2) rising of environmental and social concerns due to

mining activities and generated waste

In line with the Strategic Implementation Plan of the EIP on Raw Materials the general awareness actions that

will be carried out in SCRREEN will aim to generate acceptance and open the path to building trust towards the

sector through improved communication and transparency using appropriate language This public support is

essential to justify the RampD activities and industrial projects that are needed to overcome this dependency in

Europe

The awareness campaign in SCRREEN constitutes a first step towards trust-building it sets the foundation for a

long-term dialogue with subsequent actions to be undertaken by the Expert Network on a continuous basis It

will consist of visual elements carrying key messages aiming to popularize this complex subject and to bring

the issue closer to peoplersquos lives by making it more understandable The campaign will be rolled out through

various channels and tools over a 12-month period with two approaches 1) Push communication mainstream

and specialized media will be targeted to promote the campaign the project and raising awareness on the CRM

issues and solutions two press releases will be issued and a PR agency will be contracted to push these into

appropriate press contacts Online sciencetechnical magazines and relevant blogs with a general audience will

be contacted and targeted to act as relays for our campaign and key messages 2) Pull communication and

dialogue building through Social media (Twitter LinkedIn Instagram) and using SCRREEN public website

This project has received funding from the European Unionrsquos Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 730227

SCRREEN D102 Dissemination amp Exploitation Plan Rev05 23

The figure below summarizes the steps to involve general public

Figure 4 Awareness campaign steps

MESSAGES TO BE CONVEYED

A set of key messages will be developed specifically to inform and educate the general public on critical raw

materials in order to build knowledge that will allow engaging in a dialogue These messages will focus on the

main issues at stake listed below

Raw materials essential elements in todayrsquos industrial production are crucial for the sustainable

functioning of our economy

A shortage of rare earth elements used in everything from electric car batteries to solar panels to

wind turbines will hamper the growth of renewable energy technologies

The increasing demand for raw materials has become a geopolitical issue as a great share of the

worldwide production of CRMs is concentrated in a few countries threatening to affect our

economies if these countries cut back on exports

Although Europersquos dependence on foreign imports of raw materials poses serious risks in terms of

supply price volatility and market distortions many potential business opportunities have risen in

recent years

Waste recycling can allow for a more sustainable use of valuable raw materials and may be one of the

solutions to the environmental impacts of mining and to Europersquos dependence on foreign resources

Europe must find substitutes and develop innovative clean and sustainable technologies for the

exploration extraction and processing of raw materials

The development of the specific messages above will be used to build the general awareness campaign

COMMUNICATION TOOLS AND ACTIVITIES

The reach the objectives listed above a set of tools and channels will be used as described below Please note

that some of them will be also used for dissemination purposes

Input Output Analysis

Role in Project The main contribution of the CML is in work package 2 on the current and future use of CRMs

with a leading role in Task 21 complemented with involvement in WP7 on policy issues

Exploitation intention The CML would like to combine the knowledge created through involvement of other

projects like DESIRE MICA and the EIT Raw Materials into the SCRREEN deliverables by generating insights that

are useful from a policy perspective as well as from a scientific perspective We feel that the topic of Critical

Raw Materials calls for a comprehensive review and extension of data and knowledge available at the

European level which we think could be achieved through active participation in the SCRREEN expert network

If this effort would lead to the development of a database on the use of CRMs CML would be committed to co-

development and application Our exploitation intention is to actively disseminate and contribute to the

knowledge generated during the project

INTRODUCTION

WP10 Dissemination and Communication as described in the DoA aims at increasing the project impacts

through a wide dissemination of the project results and the intense communication of its achievement The

specific objectives of WP10 include

Spreading information on the projectrsquos activities and results widely among stakeholders

Ensuring the right coordination among the Expert Network and Clustering to increase EU CRM

knowledge through an integrated targeted and participatory dissemination approach

Assuring continuation and sustainability of the Network beyond the project thus paving the way for

the continuous uptake of the results across the relevant European and international communities

Establishing synergies and boosting new collaboration with external parties such as public authorities

and international organizations to utilize a multiplier effect thus contributing to knowledge building

and best practices diffusion in Europe and beyond avoiding overlap of different projects

Linking to the ECrsquos coordination activities for a EU Knowledge Base on Raw Materials in particular to

facilitate its Raw Materials Information System

As a first step SCRREEN will prepare a Specific Measurable Agreed upon Realistic Time-based dissemination

plan considering the bidirectional flow of information paramount to SCRREEN

Gathering and incorporating input from external stakeholders via expert consultation to achieve work

package objectives and

Raising awareness of the CRM issue and disseminating project results to the external stakeholder

community

SCRREEN D102 Dissemination amp Exploitation Plan Rev05 8

CONTEXT AND VALUE PROPOSITION

Raw materials are crucial to Europersquos economy and essential to maintaining and improving our quality of life

Securing reliable and unhindered access to certain raw materials is a growing concern within the EU and across

the globe

Figure 1 World production of CRMs (EC 2014)1

To address this challenge the European Commission has created a list of Critical Raw Materials that combine a

high economic importance to the EU with a high risk associated with their supply

Periodically the European Commission publishes a list of CRMs based on a criticality assessment at EU level on

a wide range of raw materials The first list published in 2010 contained 14 CRMs The revised list published in

2014 included additional CRMs reaching a total of 20 CRMS The next list is expected to be published by mid-

2017

The list of CRMs should help to

Implement the EUrsquos industrial policy and strengthen industrial competitiveness

Stimulate the production of CRMs and the launch of new mining activities in the EU

Prioritize actions negotiate trade agreements challenge trade distortion measures

and promote research and innovation

Since the establishment of the Raw Material Initiative by the European Commission and the publication of the first list of Critical Raw Materials many European projects have addressed part of their value chains and several

SCRREEN D102 Dissemination amp Exploitation Plan Rev05 9

initiatives have contributed to gather the community into clusters and associations In parallel this has led to the generation of significant knowledge which has been disseminated in a great number of documents Many databases have also been developed to help gather this information but they have sometimes duplicated existing work Past ongoing and recent networks and projects

2 have produced several in-depth

studies that have created a good level of baseline information on several CRMs

In addition several associations have contributed to structuring the community covering nearly all of the fields related to raw materials and including CRMs in particular The EC itself has initiated several activities including the further development of the RMIS to facilitate its needs with regards to the European Union Knowledge Base on RMs with links to the EIP on Raw Materials and to the EIT- KICs amongst others

However associated stakeholders are divided into numerous associations networks and infrastructures

covering each part of the value chains but often with overlaps Despite the numerous initiatives several CRMs

and their value chains are today poorly addressed in European RampDampI projects

There is lack of harmonized regulations and standardization particularly in WEEE and EOL products treatment

SCRREEN will address these challenges and contribute to improving Europersquos CRM strategy by

Identifying primary and secondary resources as well as substitutes of CRMs and their respective

qualities which are available to Europe (mapping assessing quantifying) in an international context

Estimating the expected EU demand for various CRMs in the future and identifying major trends

Providing policy and technology recommendations and actions for the production of various primary

and secondary CRMs and for their potential substitution in order to secure their supply and decrease

the relative dependence on imports

Providing a plan for transparent consultation with relevant external stakeholders and effective

communication of the findings to the professional and general public across the EU

Addressing EOL products and specifically WEEE issues in particular their mapping and treatment

standardization with regards to CENELEC standards

Allowing for possible changes in the CRM list by offering quick flexibility through value chain

approaches and efficient solutions for the integration of relevant stakeholders in the SCRREEN

network

ROADMAP FOR THE DISSEMINATION AND COMMUNICATION ACTIVITIES

The role of Dissemination and Communication activities is to broaden SCRREEN impacts by raising awareness

on the project results among relevant stakeholders and general public Thus a clear and efficient plan has been

drawn in order to a clear timetable with all the necessary activities to involve as many people as possible

During the first 6 months of the project the WP leader (ENCO) supported by the project partners establish

proper mechanisms and methods to valorize and spread all non confidential results to the identified target

groups In particular all the Dissemination and Communication materials will be collected defining project

identity and establishing project visibility furthermore the Expert Group will be defined

From M7 a new phase will be launched to start engaging target audience groups and to promote the project

DISSEMINATION STRATEGY

A mix of strategic channels and tools has been selected to catch the target groupsrsquo attention on SCRREEN

activities and results focusing in particular on the following aspects To whom (the audience) ndash How (the

method) ndash Why (the purpose of EampD activities) ndash What (the message) ndash When (the timing)

OBJECTIVES OF THE DISSEMINATION ACTIVITIES

Dissemination activities are crucial to create awareness about SCREEN results and to extensively propagate

tangible and intangible assets developed through the project to as wide and relevant audiences as possible and

to fine tune a set of measures to ensure that target groups have access to these results

In particular the following objectives will be pursued during the project activities

To catalyze and animate a permanent critical mass of stakeholders around a common high impact

challenge (importance and supply of CRMs) and opportunity (recovery of CRMs from WEEE and other

EOL products innovative solutions and emerging markets etc)

To inform and engage a variety of target audiences promoting the project findings to the professional

and the general public across the EU

To disseminate the knowledge and findings with all the stakeholder groups widely and efficiently

while supporting better-informed decision-making processes at EU and national level

All the objectives listed above have the final aim of providing bases for further actions starting from SCRREEN

results accelerating innovation involve citizens and society

Table 9 Partner responsible for communication activities

The main aim of SCRREEN communication activities is the engaging with general public tackling two important

challenges 1) lack of general importance on CRMs 2) rising of environmental and social concerns due to

mining activities and generated waste

In line with the Strategic Implementation Plan of the EIP on Raw Materials the general awareness actions that

will be carried out in SCRREEN will aim to generate acceptance and open the path to building trust towards the

sector through improved communication and transparency using appropriate language This public support is

essential to justify the RampD activities and industrial projects that are needed to overcome this dependency in

Europe

The awareness campaign in SCRREEN constitutes a first step towards trust-building it sets the foundation for a

long-term dialogue with subsequent actions to be undertaken by the Expert Network on a continuous basis It

will consist of visual elements carrying key messages aiming to popularize this complex subject and to bring

the issue closer to peoplersquos lives by making it more understandable The campaign will be rolled out through

various channels and tools over a 12-month period with two approaches 1) Push communication mainstream

and specialized media will be targeted to promote the campaign the project and raising awareness on the CRM

issues and solutions two press releases will be issued and a PR agency will be contracted to push these into

appropriate press contacts Online sciencetechnical magazines and relevant blogs with a general audience will

be contacted and targeted to act as relays for our campaign and key messages 2) Pull communication and

dialogue building through Social media (Twitter LinkedIn Instagram) and using SCRREEN public website

This project has received funding from the European Unionrsquos Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 730227

SCRREEN D102 Dissemination amp Exploitation Plan Rev05 23

The figure below summarizes the steps to involve general public

Figure 4 Awareness campaign steps

MESSAGES TO BE CONVEYED

A set of key messages will be developed specifically to inform and educate the general public on critical raw

materials in order to build knowledge that will allow engaging in a dialogue These messages will focus on the

main issues at stake listed below

Raw materials essential elements in todayrsquos industrial production are crucial for the sustainable

functioning of our economy

A shortage of rare earth elements used in everything from electric car batteries to solar panels to

wind turbines will hamper the growth of renewable energy technologies

The increasing demand for raw materials has become a geopolitical issue as a great share of the

worldwide production of CRMs is concentrated in a few countries threatening to affect our

economies if these countries cut back on exports

Although Europersquos dependence on foreign imports of raw materials poses serious risks in terms of

supply price volatility and market distortions many potential business opportunities have risen in

recent years

Waste recycling can allow for a more sustainable use of valuable raw materials and may be one of the

solutions to the environmental impacts of mining and to Europersquos dependence on foreign resources

Europe must find substitutes and develop innovative clean and sustainable technologies for the

exploration extraction and processing of raw materials

The development of the specific messages above will be used to build the general awareness campaign

COMMUNICATION TOOLS AND ACTIVITIES

The reach the objectives listed above a set of tools and channels will be used as described below Please note

that some of them will be also used for dissemination purposes

Each of the partner organizations is responsible for advertising the project on their own website They will

therefore dedicate enough space to the project in their web pages so to properly communicate the project

vision objectives and activities In the same way each of them will be responsible for advertising the action on

SYNERGIES WITH ONGOING PROJECTS AND INITIATIVES

The main aim of SCRREEN is to gather European initiatives associations clusters and projects working on CRMs

into along lasting Expert Network on Critical Raw Materials developing a pro-active international co-operation

strategy of the EU at bilateral and multilateral level promoting synergies not only with EU ongoing projects and

initiatives but also with countries and regions such as the US Japan Australia Canada Latin America and the

African Union across the different areas covered by the EIP due to the composition of both the expert groups

and the consortium members

In particular Clustering activities foreseen in WP11 will facilitate the consensus on CRMs along the different

existing projects avoiding duplicating work and improving efficiency

Moreover SCRREEN will establish synergies with the JRC in the context of the ECrsquos Raw Materials Information

System (RMIS) as well as interfaces for key needs of the RMIS

IMPLEMENTATION OF THE EIP ON RAW MATERIALS

One of the main synergy SCRREEN will guarantee is the contribution to the EIP-RMrsquos Strategic Implementation

Plan (EIP-RM SIP) targets pursuing the following objectives

Substitutes for at least 3 applications of critical and scarce raw materials

Framework conditions for primary raw materials that would provide a stable and competitive supply

from EU sources and facilitate its public acceptance

Framework conditions for enhanced efficiency in material use and in waste prevention re-use and

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The purpose of this deliverable is to set out a strategy for the communication and dissemination activities carried out by the consortium with a primary objective to support sustainable uptake of project results by end users Target user groups have been identified and ways to reach them have been developed As a dynamic document it will be updated if necessary even after its formal delivery

INTRODUCTION

WP10 Dissemination and Communication as described in the DoA aims at increasing the project impacts

through a wide dissemination of the project results and the intense communication of its achievement The

specific objectives of WP10 include

Spreading information on the projectrsquos activities and results widely among stakeholders

Ensuring the right coordination among the Expert Network and Clustering to increase EU CRM

knowledge through an integrated targeted and participatory dissemination approach

Assuring continuation and sustainability of the Network beyond the project thus paving the way for

the continuous uptake of the results across the relevant European and international communities

Establishing synergies and boosting new collaboration with external parties such as public authorities

and international organizations to utilize a multiplier effect thus contributing to knowledge building

and best practices diffusion in Europe and beyond avoiding overlap of different projects

Linking to the ECrsquos coordination activities for a EU Knowledge Base on Raw Materials in particular to

facilitate its Raw Materials Information System

As a first step SCRREEN will prepare a Specific Measurable Agreed upon Realistic Time-based dissemination

plan considering the bidirectional flow of information paramount to SCRREEN

Gathering and incorporating input from external stakeholders via expert consultation to achieve work

package objectives and

Raising awareness of the CRM issue and disseminating project results to the external stakeholder

community

SCRREEN D102 Dissemination amp Exploitation Plan Rev05 8

CONTEXT AND VALUE PROPOSITION

Raw materials are crucial to Europersquos economy and essential to maintaining and improving our quality of life

Securing reliable and unhindered access to certain raw materials is a growing concern within the EU and across

the globe

Figure 1 World production of CRMs (EC 2014)1

To address this challenge the European Commission has created a list of Critical Raw Materials that combine a

high economic importance to the EU with a high risk associated with their supply

Periodically the European Commission publishes a list of CRMs based on a criticality assessment at EU level on

a wide range of raw materials The first list published in 2010 contained 14 CRMs The revised list published in

2014 included additional CRMs reaching a total of 20 CRMS The next list is expected to be published by mid-

2017

The list of CRMs should help to

Implement the EUrsquos industrial policy and strengthen industrial competitiveness

Stimulate the production of CRMs and the launch of new mining activities in the EU

Prioritize actions negotiate trade agreements challenge trade distortion measures

and promote research and innovation

Since the establishment of the Raw Material Initiative by the European Commission and the publication of the first list of Critical Raw Materials many European projects have addressed part of their value chains and several

SCRREEN D102 Dissemination amp Exploitation Plan Rev05 9

initiatives have contributed to gather the community into clusters and associations In parallel this has led to the generation of significant knowledge which has been disseminated in a great number of documents Many databases have also been developed to help gather this information but they have sometimes duplicated existing work Past ongoing and recent networks and projects

2 have produced several in-depth

studies that have created a good level of baseline information on several CRMs

In addition several associations have contributed to structuring the community covering nearly all of the fields related to raw materials and including CRMs in particular The EC itself has initiated several activities including the further development of the RMIS to facilitate its needs with regards to the European Union Knowledge Base on RMs with links to the EIP on Raw Materials and to the EIT- KICs amongst others

However associated stakeholders are divided into numerous associations networks and infrastructures

covering each part of the value chains but often with overlaps Despite the numerous initiatives several CRMs

and their value chains are today poorly addressed in European RampDampI projects

There is lack of harmonized regulations and standardization particularly in WEEE and EOL products treatment

SCRREEN will address these challenges and contribute to improving Europersquos CRM strategy by

Identifying primary and secondary resources as well as substitutes of CRMs and their respective

qualities which are available to Europe (mapping assessing quantifying) in an international context

Estimating the expected EU demand for various CRMs in the future and identifying major trends

Providing policy and technology recommendations and actions for the production of various primary

and secondary CRMs and for their potential substitution in order to secure their supply and decrease

the relative dependence on imports

Providing a plan for transparent consultation with relevant external stakeholders and effective

communication of the findings to the professional and general public across the EU

Addressing EOL products and specifically WEEE issues in particular their mapping and treatment

standardization with regards to CENELEC standards

Allowing for possible changes in the CRM list by offering quick flexibility through value chain

approaches and efficient solutions for the integration of relevant stakeholders in the SCRREEN

network

ROADMAP FOR THE DISSEMINATION AND COMMUNICATION ACTIVITIES

The role of Dissemination and Communication activities is to broaden SCRREEN impacts by raising awareness

on the project results among relevant stakeholders and general public Thus a clear and efficient plan has been

drawn in order to a clear timetable with all the necessary activities to involve as many people as possible

SCRREEN D102 Dissemination amp Exploitation Plan Rev05 10

During the first 6 months of the project the WP leader (ENCO) supported by the project partners establish

proper mechanisms and methods to valorize and spread all non confidential results to the identified target

groups In particular all the Dissemination and Communication materials will be collected defining project

identity and establishing project visibility furthermore the Expert Group will be defined

From M7 a new phase will be launched to start engaging target audience groups and to promote the project

Finally the capitalization of SCRREEN results will start from M25 during this phase mechanisms to ensure a

long-lasting visibility and impact of the SCRREEN Project outcomes are set up

The Figure 1 represents the roadmap that has been designed to reach the EampD objectives defined under

paragraph 31 in a timely and adequate manner

Figure 2 Communication and Dissemination phases

QUALITY MANAGEMENT

The Dissemination and Exploitation Plan sets up rules and criteria to ensure the smooth management and

effective implementation of the dissemination activities Thus the WP Leader envisages lying down specific

procedures for releasing publications and presentations consistent with the Grant Agreement (GA) and

Consortium Agreement (CA) Moreover a set of KPIs has been established as benchmarks for evaluating the

effectiveness and the impact of the dissemination communication and exploitation activities

APPROVAL PROCEDURES FOR PUBLICATIONS AND PRESENTATIONS

DISSEMINATION STRATEGY

A mix of strategic channels and tools has been selected to catch the target groupsrsquo attention on SCRREEN

activities and results focusing in particular on the following aspects To whom (the audience) ndash How (the

method) ndash Why (the purpose of EampD activities) ndash What (the message) ndash When (the timing)

OBJECTIVES OF THE DISSEMINATION ACTIVITIES

Dissemination activities are crucial to create awareness about SCREEN results and to extensively propagate

tangible and intangible assets developed through the project to as wide and relevant audiences as possible and

to fine tune a set of measures to ensure that target groups have access to these results

In particular the following objectives will be pursued during the project activities

To catalyze and animate a permanent critical mass of stakeholders around a common high impact

challenge (importance and supply of CRMs) and opportunity (recovery of CRMs from WEEE and other

EOL products innovative solutions and emerging markets etc)

To inform and engage a variety of target audiences promoting the project findings to the professional

and the general public across the EU

To disseminate the knowledge and findings with all the stakeholder groups widely and efficiently

while supporting better-informed decision-making processes at EU and national level

All the objectives listed above have the final aim of providing bases for further actions starting from SCRREEN

results accelerating innovation involve citizens and society

Table 9 Partner responsible for communication activities

The main aim of SCRREEN communication activities is the engaging with general public tackling two important

challenges 1) lack of general importance on CRMs 2) rising of environmental and social concerns due to

mining activities and generated waste

In line with the Strategic Implementation Plan of the EIP on Raw Materials the general awareness actions that

will be carried out in SCRREEN will aim to generate acceptance and open the path to building trust towards the

sector through improved communication and transparency using appropriate language This public support is

essential to justify the RampD activities and industrial projects that are needed to overcome this dependency in

Europe

The awareness campaign in SCRREEN constitutes a first step towards trust-building it sets the foundation for a

long-term dialogue with subsequent actions to be undertaken by the Expert Network on a continuous basis It

will consist of visual elements carrying key messages aiming to popularize this complex subject and to bring

the issue closer to peoplersquos lives by making it more understandable The campaign will be rolled out through

various channels and tools over a 12-month period with two approaches 1) Push communication mainstream

and specialized media will be targeted to promote the campaign the project and raising awareness on the CRM

issues and solutions two press releases will be issued and a PR agency will be contracted to push these into

appropriate press contacts Online sciencetechnical magazines and relevant blogs with a general audience will

be contacted and targeted to act as relays for our campaign and key messages 2) Pull communication and

dialogue building through Social media (Twitter LinkedIn Instagram) and using SCRREEN public website

This project has received funding from the European Unionrsquos Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 730227

SCRREEN D102 Dissemination amp Exploitation Plan Rev05 23

The figure below summarizes the steps to involve general public

Figure 4 Awareness campaign steps

MESSAGES TO BE CONVEYED

A set of key messages will be developed specifically to inform and educate the general public on critical raw

materials in order to build knowledge that will allow engaging in a dialogue These messages will focus on the

main issues at stake listed below

Raw materials essential elements in todayrsquos industrial production are crucial for the sustainable

functioning of our economy

A shortage of rare earth elements used in everything from electric car batteries to solar panels to

wind turbines will hamper the growth of renewable energy technologies

The increasing demand for raw materials has become a geopolitical issue as a great share of the

worldwide production of CRMs is concentrated in a few countries threatening to affect our

economies if these countries cut back on exports

Although Europersquos dependence on foreign imports of raw materials poses serious risks in terms of

supply price volatility and market distortions many potential business opportunities have risen in

recent years

Waste recycling can allow for a more sustainable use of valuable raw materials and may be one of the

solutions to the environmental impacts of mining and to Europersquos dependence on foreign resources

Europe must find substitutes and develop innovative clean and sustainable technologies for the

exploration extraction and processing of raw materials

The development of the specific messages above will be used to build the general awareness campaign

COMMUNICATION TOOLS AND ACTIVITIES

The reach the objectives listed above a set of tools and channels will be used as described below Please note

that some of them will be also used for dissemination purposes

Each of the partner organizations is responsible for advertising the project on their own website They will

therefore dedicate enough space to the project in their web pages so to properly communicate the project

vision objectives and activities In the same way each of them will be responsible for advertising the action on

SYNERGIES WITH ONGOING PROJECTS AND INITIATIVES

The main aim of SCRREEN is to gather European initiatives associations clusters and projects working on CRMs

into along lasting Expert Network on Critical Raw Materials developing a pro-active international co-operation

strategy of the EU at bilateral and multilateral level promoting synergies not only with EU ongoing projects and

initiatives but also with countries and regions such as the US Japan Australia Canada Latin America and the

African Union across the different areas covered by the EIP due to the composition of both the expert groups

and the consortium members

In particular Clustering activities foreseen in WP11 will facilitate the consensus on CRMs along the different

existing projects avoiding duplicating work and improving efficiency

Moreover SCRREEN will establish synergies with the JRC in the context of the ECrsquos Raw Materials Information

System (RMIS) as well as interfaces for key needs of the RMIS

IMPLEMENTATION OF THE EIP ON RAW MATERIALS

One of the main synergy SCRREEN will guarantee is the contribution to the EIP-RMrsquos Strategic Implementation

Plan (EIP-RM SIP) targets pursuing the following objectives

Substitutes for at least 3 applications of critical and scarce raw materials

Framework conditions for primary raw materials that would provide a stable and competitive supply

from EU sources and facilitate its public acceptance

Framework conditions for enhanced efficiency in material use and in waste prevention re-use and

recycling and resource efficient product design

EU raw materials knowledge base in particular with interfaces to the ECrsquos RMIS with information

flows and dynamic modelling systems for primary and secondary raw materials

Furthermore the project addresses directly the Priority Areas IA (Raw materials research and innovation

coordination) and action area ndeg I1 (Improving RampDampI coordination in the EU) and ndash among others ndash the

following crosscutting way

IIA (Improving Europersquos raw materials framework conditions) and action areas ndeg II1 (Minerals policy

framework) II2 (Access to minerals potential in the EU) and II3 (Public awareness acceptance and

trust)

IIC (Knowledge skills and raw materials flows) and action area ndegII8 (EURMKB)

The project will support also the implementation of the Raw Materials Initiative pillars 2 (Fostering sustainable

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The purpose of this deliverable is to set out a strategy for the communication and dissemination activities carried out by the consortium with a primary objective to support sustainable uptake of project results by end users Target user groups have been identified and ways to reach them have been developed As a dynamic document it will be updated if necessary even after its formal delivery

INTRODUCTION

WP10 Dissemination and Communication as described in the DoA aims at increasing the project impacts

through a wide dissemination of the project results and the intense communication of its achievement The

specific objectives of WP10 include

Spreading information on the projectrsquos activities and results widely among stakeholders

Ensuring the right coordination among the Expert Network and Clustering to increase EU CRM

knowledge through an integrated targeted and participatory dissemination approach

Assuring continuation and sustainability of the Network beyond the project thus paving the way for

the continuous uptake of the results across the relevant European and international communities

Establishing synergies and boosting new collaboration with external parties such as public authorities

and international organizations to utilize a multiplier effect thus contributing to knowledge building

and best practices diffusion in Europe and beyond avoiding overlap of different projects

Linking to the ECrsquos coordination activities for a EU Knowledge Base on Raw Materials in particular to

facilitate its Raw Materials Information System

As a first step SCRREEN will prepare a Specific Measurable Agreed upon Realistic Time-based dissemination

plan considering the bidirectional flow of information paramount to SCRREEN

Gathering and incorporating input from external stakeholders via expert consultation to achieve work

package objectives and

Raising awareness of the CRM issue and disseminating project results to the external stakeholder

community

SCRREEN D102 Dissemination amp Exploitation Plan Rev05 8

CONTEXT AND VALUE PROPOSITION

Raw materials are crucial to Europersquos economy and essential to maintaining and improving our quality of life

Securing reliable and unhindered access to certain raw materials is a growing concern within the EU and across

the globe

Figure 1 World production of CRMs (EC 2014)1

To address this challenge the European Commission has created a list of Critical Raw Materials that combine a

high economic importance to the EU with a high risk associated with their supply

Periodically the European Commission publishes a list of CRMs based on a criticality assessment at EU level on

a wide range of raw materials The first list published in 2010 contained 14 CRMs The revised list published in

2014 included additional CRMs reaching a total of 20 CRMS The next list is expected to be published by mid-

2017

The list of CRMs should help to

Implement the EUrsquos industrial policy and strengthen industrial competitiveness

Stimulate the production of CRMs and the launch of new mining activities in the EU

Prioritize actions negotiate trade agreements challenge trade distortion measures

and promote research and innovation

Since the establishment of the Raw Material Initiative by the European Commission and the publication of the first list of Critical Raw Materials many European projects have addressed part of their value chains and several

SCRREEN D102 Dissemination amp Exploitation Plan Rev05 9

initiatives have contributed to gather the community into clusters and associations In parallel this has led to the generation of significant knowledge which has been disseminated in a great number of documents Many databases have also been developed to help gather this information but they have sometimes duplicated existing work Past ongoing and recent networks and projects

2 have produced several in-depth

studies that have created a good level of baseline information on several CRMs

In addition several associations have contributed to structuring the community covering nearly all of the fields related to raw materials and including CRMs in particular The EC itself has initiated several activities including the further development of the RMIS to facilitate its needs with regards to the European Union Knowledge Base on RMs with links to the EIP on Raw Materials and to the EIT- KICs amongst others

However associated stakeholders are divided into numerous associations networks and infrastructures

covering each part of the value chains but often with overlaps Despite the numerous initiatives several CRMs

and their value chains are today poorly addressed in European RampDampI projects

There is lack of harmonized regulations and standardization particularly in WEEE and EOL products treatment

SCRREEN will address these challenges and contribute to improving Europersquos CRM strategy by

Identifying primary and secondary resources as well as substitutes of CRMs and their respective

qualities which are available to Europe (mapping assessing quantifying) in an international context

Estimating the expected EU demand for various CRMs in the future and identifying major trends

Providing policy and technology recommendations and actions for the production of various primary

and secondary CRMs and for their potential substitution in order to secure their supply and decrease

the relative dependence on imports

Providing a plan for transparent consultation with relevant external stakeholders and effective

communication of the findings to the professional and general public across the EU

Addressing EOL products and specifically WEEE issues in particular their mapping and treatment

standardization with regards to CENELEC standards

Allowing for possible changes in the CRM list by offering quick flexibility through value chain

approaches and efficient solutions for the integration of relevant stakeholders in the SCRREEN

network

ROADMAP FOR THE DISSEMINATION AND COMMUNICATION ACTIVITIES

The role of Dissemination and Communication activities is to broaden SCRREEN impacts by raising awareness

on the project results among relevant stakeholders and general public Thus a clear and efficient plan has been

drawn in order to a clear timetable with all the necessary activities to involve as many people as possible

SCRREEN D102 Dissemination amp Exploitation Plan Rev05 10

During the first 6 months of the project the WP leader (ENCO) supported by the project partners establish

proper mechanisms and methods to valorize and spread all non confidential results to the identified target

groups In particular all the Dissemination and Communication materials will be collected defining project

identity and establishing project visibility furthermore the Expert Group will be defined

From M7 a new phase will be launched to start engaging target audience groups and to promote the project

Finally the capitalization of SCRREEN results will start from M25 during this phase mechanisms to ensure a

long-lasting visibility and impact of the SCRREEN Project outcomes are set up

The Figure 1 represents the roadmap that has been designed to reach the EampD objectives defined under

paragraph 31 in a timely and adequate manner

Figure 2 Communication and Dissemination phases

QUALITY MANAGEMENT

The Dissemination and Exploitation Plan sets up rules and criteria to ensure the smooth management and

effective implementation of the dissemination activities Thus the WP Leader envisages lying down specific

procedures for releasing publications and presentations consistent with the Grant Agreement (GA) and

Consortium Agreement (CA) Moreover a set of KPIs has been established as benchmarks for evaluating the

effectiveness and the impact of the dissemination communication and exploitation activities

APPROVAL PROCEDURES FOR PUBLICATIONS AND PRESENTATIONS

Project dissemination activities are governed by art 29 of the GA and art 83 of the CA

ldquoA beneficiary that intends to disseminate its results must give advance notice to the other beneficiaries of -

unless agreed otherwise - at least 45 days together with sufficient information on the results it will

activities and results focusing in particular on the following aspects To whom (the audience) ndash How (the

method) ndash Why (the purpose of EampD activities) ndash What (the message) ndash When (the timing)

OBJECTIVES OF THE DISSEMINATION ACTIVITIES

Dissemination activities are crucial to create awareness about SCREEN results and to extensively propagate

tangible and intangible assets developed through the project to as wide and relevant audiences as possible and

to fine tune a set of measures to ensure that target groups have access to these results

In particular the following objectives will be pursued during the project activities

To catalyze and animate a permanent critical mass of stakeholders around a common high impact

challenge (importance and supply of CRMs) and opportunity (recovery of CRMs from WEEE and other

EOL products innovative solutions and emerging markets etc)

To inform and engage a variety of target audiences promoting the project findings to the professional

and the general public across the EU

To disseminate the knowledge and findings with all the stakeholder groups widely and efficiently

while supporting better-informed decision-making processes at EU and national level

All the objectives listed above have the final aim of providing bases for further actions starting from SCRREEN

results accelerating innovation involve citizens and society

Table 9 Partner responsible for communication activities

The main aim of SCRREEN communication activities is the engaging with general public tackling two important

challenges 1) lack of general importance on CRMs 2) rising of environmental and social concerns due to

mining activities and generated waste

In line with the Strategic Implementation Plan of the EIP on Raw Materials the general awareness actions that

will be carried out in SCRREEN will aim to generate acceptance and open the path to building trust towards the

sector through improved communication and transparency using appropriate language This public support is

essential to justify the RampD activities and industrial projects that are needed to overcome this dependency in

Europe

The awareness campaign in SCRREEN constitutes a first step towards trust-building it sets the foundation for a

long-term dialogue with subsequent actions to be undertaken by the Expert Network on a continuous basis It

will consist of visual elements carrying key messages aiming to popularize this complex subject and to bring

the issue closer to peoplersquos lives by making it more understandable The campaign will be rolled out through

various channels and tools over a 12-month period with two approaches 1) Push communication mainstream

and specialized media will be targeted to promote the campaign the project and raising awareness on the CRM

issues and solutions two press releases will be issued and a PR agency will be contracted to push these into

appropriate press contacts Online sciencetechnical magazines and relevant blogs with a general audience will

be contacted and targeted to act as relays for our campaign and key messages 2) Pull communication and

dialogue building through Social media (Twitter LinkedIn Instagram) and using SCRREEN public website

This project has received funding from the European Unionrsquos Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 730227

SCRREEN D102 Dissemination amp Exploitation Plan Rev05 23

The figure below summarizes the steps to involve general public

Figure 4 Awareness campaign steps

MESSAGES TO BE CONVEYED

A set of key messages will be developed specifically to inform and educate the general public on critical raw

materials in order to build knowledge that will allow engaging in a dialogue These messages will focus on the

main issues at stake listed below

Raw materials essential elements in todayrsquos industrial production are crucial for the sustainable

functioning of our economy

A shortage of rare earth elements used in everything from electric car batteries to solar panels to

wind turbines will hamper the growth of renewable energy technologies

The increasing demand for raw materials has become a geopolitical issue as a great share of the

worldwide production of CRMs is concentrated in a few countries threatening to affect our

economies if these countries cut back on exports

Although Europersquos dependence on foreign imports of raw materials poses serious risks in terms of

supply price volatility and market distortions many potential business opportunities have risen in

recent years

Waste recycling can allow for a more sustainable use of valuable raw materials and may be one of the

solutions to the environmental impacts of mining and to Europersquos dependence on foreign resources

Europe must find substitutes and develop innovative clean and sustainable technologies for the

exploration extraction and processing of raw materials

The development of the specific messages above will be used to build the general awareness campaign

COMMUNICATION TOOLS AND ACTIVITIES

The reach the objectives listed above a set of tools and channels will be used as described below Please note

that some of them will be also used for dissemination purposes

SCRREEN D102 Dissemination amp Exploitation Plan Rev05 8

CONTEXT AND VALUE PROPOSITION

Raw materials are crucial to Europersquos economy and essential to maintaining and improving our quality of life

Securing reliable and unhindered access to certain raw materials is a growing concern within the EU and across

the globe

Figure 1 World production of CRMs (EC 2014)1

To address this challenge the European Commission has created a list of Critical Raw Materials that combine a

high economic importance to the EU with a high risk associated with their supply

Periodically the European Commission publishes a list of CRMs based on a criticality assessment at EU level on

a wide range of raw materials The first list published in 2010 contained 14 CRMs The revised list published in

2014 included additional CRMs reaching a total of 20 CRMS The next list is expected to be published by mid-

2017

The list of CRMs should help to

Implement the EUrsquos industrial policy and strengthen industrial competitiveness

Stimulate the production of CRMs and the launch of new mining activities in the EU

Prioritize actions negotiate trade agreements challenge trade distortion measures

and promote research and innovation

Since the establishment of the Raw Material Initiative by the European Commission and the publication of the first list of Critical Raw Materials many European projects have addressed part of their value chains and several

initiatives have contributed to gather the community into clusters and associations In parallel this has led to the generation of significant knowledge which has been disseminated in a great number of documents Many databases have also been developed to help gather this information but they have sometimes duplicated existing work Past ongoing and recent networks and projects

2 have produced several in-depth

studies that have created a good level of baseline information on several CRMs

In addition several associations have contributed to structuring the community covering nearly all of the fields related to raw materials and including CRMs in particular The EC itself has initiated several activities including the further development of the RMIS to facilitate its needs with regards to the European Union Knowledge Base on RMs with links to the EIP on Raw Materials and to the EIT- KICs amongst others

However associated stakeholders are divided into numerous associations networks and infrastructures

covering each part of the value chains but often with overlaps Despite the numerous initiatives several CRMs

and their value chains are today poorly addressed in European RampDampI projects

There is lack of harmonized regulations and standardization particularly in WEEE and EOL products treatment

SCRREEN will address these challenges and contribute to improving Europersquos CRM strategy by

Identifying primary and secondary resources as well as substitutes of CRMs and their respective

qualities which are available to Europe (mapping assessing quantifying) in an international context

Estimating the expected EU demand for various CRMs in the future and identifying major trends

Providing policy and technology recommendations and actions for the production of various primary

and secondary CRMs and for their potential substitution in order to secure their supply and decrease

the relative dependence on imports

Providing a plan for transparent consultation with relevant external stakeholders and effective

communication of the findings to the professional and general public across the EU

Addressing EOL products and specifically WEEE issues in particular their mapping and treatment

standardization with regards to CENELEC standards

Allowing for possible changes in the CRM list by offering quick flexibility through value chain

approaches and efficient solutions for the integration of relevant stakeholders in the SCRREEN

network

ROADMAP FOR THE DISSEMINATION AND COMMUNICATION ACTIVITIES

The role of Dissemination and Communication activities is to broaden SCRREEN impacts by raising awareness

on the project results among relevant stakeholders and general public Thus a clear and efficient plan has been

drawn in order to a clear timetable with all the necessary activities to involve as many people as possible

During the first 6 months of the project the WP leader (ENCO) supported by the project partners establish

proper mechanisms and methods to valorize and spread all non confidential results to the identified target

groups In particular all the Dissemination and Communication materials will be collected defining project

identity and establishing project visibility furthermore the Expert Group will be defined

From M7 a new phase will be launched to start engaging target audience groups and to promote the project

Finally the capitalization of SCRREEN results will start from M25 during this phase mechanisms to ensure a

long-lasting visibility and impact of the SCRREEN Project outcomes are set up

The Figure 1 represents the roadmap that has been designed to reach the EampD objectives defined under

paragraph 31 in a timely and adequate manner

DISSEMINATION STRATEGY

A mix of strategic channels and tools has been selected to catch the target groupsrsquo attention on SCRREEN

activities and results focusing in particular on the following aspects To whom (the audience) ndash How (the

method) ndash Why (the purpose of EampD activities) ndash What (the message) ndash When (the timing)

OBJECTIVES OF THE DISSEMINATION ACTIVITIES

Dissemination activities are crucial to create awareness about SCREEN results and to extensively propagate

tangible and intangible assets developed through the project to as wide and relevant audiences as possible and

to fine tune a set of measures to ensure that target groups have access to these results

In particular the following objectives will be pursued during the project activities

To catalyze and animate a permanent critical mass of stakeholders around a common high impact

challenge (importance and supply of CRMs) and opportunity (recovery of CRMs from WEEE and other

EOL products innovative solutions and emerging markets etc)

To inform and engage a variety of target audiences promoting the project findings to the professional

and the general public across the EU

To disseminate the knowledge and findings with all the stakeholder groups widely and efficiently

while supporting better-informed decision-making processes at EU and national level

All the objectives listed above have the final aim of providing bases for further actions starting from SCRREEN

results accelerating innovation involve citizens and society

ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

ENCO acts as WP 10 Leader and will lead SCRREEN EampD activities according to the plan defined in this

document As WP leader ENCO main responsibilities consist of

DISSEMINATION TARGET GROUPS

The dissemination activities will be tailored according to the different target groups of the projects A

preliminary involvement of such target groups have been already identified during the proposal writing

Furthermore cross-cutting activities among SCRREEN WPs have assured a more detailed identification of

possible stakeholders interested in SCRREEN activities and results

Moreover during the preparation of the proposal each of the partners was asked to get in contact and involve a number of complementary organizations (see Letter of Interest) as third parties which will support the consortium in the dissemination activities The representatives of these third parties will be invited to participate in the workshops and training sessions organized in the framework of the project

The following table shows a preliminary list of target groups which the SCRREEN dissemination action is addressed to Every year this list will be internally updated

Table 9 Partner responsible for communication activities

The main aim of SCRREEN communication activities is the engaging with general public tackling two important

challenges 1) lack of general importance on CRMs 2) rising of environmental and social concerns due to

mining activities and generated waste

In line with the Strategic Implementation Plan of the EIP on Raw Materials the general awareness actions that

will be carried out in SCRREEN will aim to generate acceptance and open the path to building trust towards the

sector through improved communication and transparency using appropriate language This public support is

essential to justify the RampD activities and industrial projects that are needed to overcome this dependency in

Europe

The awareness campaign in SCRREEN constitutes a first step towards trust-building it sets the foundation for a

long-term dialogue with subsequent actions to be undertaken by the Expert Network on a continuous basis It

will consist of visual elements carrying key messages aiming to popularize this complex subject and to bring

the issue closer to peoplersquos lives by making it more understandable The campaign will be rolled out through

various channels and tools over a 12-month period with two approaches 1) Push communication mainstream

and specialized media will be targeted to promote the campaign the project and raising awareness on the CRM

issues and solutions two press releases will be issued and a PR agency will be contracted to push these into

appropriate press contacts Online sciencetechnical magazines and relevant blogs with a general audience will

be contacted and targeted to act as relays for our campaign and key messages 2) Pull communication and

dialogue building through Social media (Twitter LinkedIn Instagram) and using SCRREEN public website

This project has received funding from the European Unionrsquos Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 730227

SCRREEN D102 Dissemination amp Exploitation Plan Rev05 23

The figure below summarizes the steps to involve general public

Figure 4 Awareness campaign steps

MESSAGES TO BE CONVEYED

A set of key messages will be developed specifically to inform and educate the general public on critical raw

materials in order to build knowledge that will allow engaging in a dialogue These messages will focus on the

main issues at stake listed below

Raw materials essential elements in todayrsquos industrial production are crucial for the sustainable

functioning of our economy

A shortage of rare earth elements used in everything from electric car batteries to solar panels to

wind turbines will hamper the growth of renewable energy technologies

The increasing demand for raw materials has become a geopolitical issue as a great share of the

worldwide production of CRMs is concentrated in a few countries threatening to affect our

economies if these countries cut back on exports

Although Europersquos dependence on foreign imports of raw materials poses serious risks in terms of

supply price volatility and market distortions many potential business opportunities have risen in

recent years

Waste recycling can allow for a more sustainable use of valuable raw materials and may be one of the

solutions to the environmental impacts of mining and to Europersquos dependence on foreign resources

Europe must find substitutes and develop innovative clean and sustainable technologies for the

exploration extraction and processing of raw materials

The development of the specific messages above will be used to build the general awareness campaign

COMMUNICATION TOOLS AND ACTIVITIES

The reach the objectives listed above a set of tools and channels will be used as described below Please note

that some of them will be also used for dissemination purposes

Each of the partner organizations is responsible for advertising the project on their own website They will

therefore dedicate enough space to the project in their web pages so to properly communicate the project

vision objectives and activities In the same way each of them will be responsible for advertising the action on

This project has received funding from the European Unionrsquos Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 730227

the continuous uptake of the results across the relevant European and international communities

Establishing synergies and boosting new collaboration with external parties such as public authorities

and international organizations to utilize a multiplier effect thus contributing to knowledge building

and best practices diffusion in Europe and beyond avoiding overlap of different projects

Linking to the ECrsquos coordination activities for a EU Knowledge Base on Raw Materials in particular to

facilitate its Raw Materials Information System

As a first step SCRREEN will prepare a Specific Measurable Agreed upon Realistic Time-based dissemination

plan considering the bidirectional flow of information paramount to SCRREEN

Gathering and incorporating input from external stakeholders via expert consultation to achieve work

package objectives and

Raising awareness of the CRM issue and disseminating project results to the external stakeholder

community

CONTEXT AND VALUE PROPOSITION

Raw materials are crucial to Europersquos economy and essential to maintaining and improving our quality of life

Securing reliable and unhindered access to certain raw materials is a growing concern within the EU and across

the globe

Figure 1 World production of CRMs (EC 2014)1

To address this challenge the European Commission has created a list of Critical Raw Materials that combine a

high economic importance to the EU with a high risk associated with their supply

Periodically the European Commission publishes a list of CRMs based on a criticality assessment at EU level on

a wide range of raw materials The first list published in 2010 contained 14 CRMs The revised list published in

2014 included additional CRMs reaching a total of 20 CRMS The next list is expected to be published by mid-

2017

The list of CRMs should help to

Implement the EUrsquos industrial policy and strengthen industrial competitiveness

Stimulate the production of CRMs and the launch of new mining activities in the EU

Prioritize actions negotiate trade agreements challenge trade distortion measures

and promote research and innovation

Since the establishment of the Raw Material Initiative by the European Commission and the publication of the first list of Critical Raw Materials many European projects have addressed part of their value chains and several

SCRREEN D102 Dissemination amp Exploitation Plan Rev05 9

initiatives have contributed to gather the community into clusters and associations In parallel this has led to the generation of significant knowledge which has been disseminated in a great number of documents Many databases have also been developed to help gather this information but they have sometimes duplicated existing work Past ongoing and recent networks and projects

2 have produced several in-depth

studies that have created a good level of baseline information on several CRMs

In addition several associations have contributed to structuring the community covering nearly all of the fields related to raw materials and including CRMs in particular The EC itself has initiated several activities including the further development of the RMIS to facilitate its needs with regards to the European Union Knowledge Base on RMs with links to the EIP on Raw Materials and to the EIT- KICs amongst others

However associated stakeholders are divided into numerous associations networks and infrastructures

covering each part of the value chains but often with overlaps Despite the numerous initiatives several CRMs

and their value chains are today poorly addressed in European RampDampI projects

There is lack of harmonized regulations and standardization particularly in WEEE and EOL products treatment

SCRREEN will address these challenges and contribute to improving Europersquos CRM strategy by

Identifying primary and secondary resources as well as substitutes of CRMs and their respective

qualities which are available to Europe (mapping assessing quantifying) in an international context

Estimating the expected EU demand for various CRMs in the future and identifying major trends

Providing policy and technology recommendations and actions for the production of various primary

and secondary CRMs and for their potential substitution in order to secure their supply and decrease

the relative dependence on imports

Providing a plan for transparent consultation with relevant external stakeholders and effective

communication of the findings to the professional and general public across the EU

Addressing EOL products and specifically WEEE issues in particular their mapping and treatment

standardization with regards to CENELEC standards

Allowing for possible changes in the CRM list by offering quick flexibility through value chain

approaches and efficient solutions for the integration of relevant stakeholders in the SCRREEN

network

ROADMAP FOR THE DISSEMINATION AND COMMUNICATION ACTIVITIES

The role of Dissemination and Communication activities is to broaden SCRREEN impacts by raising awareness

on the project results among relevant stakeholders and general public Thus a clear and efficient plan has been

drawn in order to a clear timetable with all the necessary activities to involve as many people as possible

Table 9 Partner responsible for communication activities

The main aim of SCRREEN communication activities is the engaging with general public tackling two important

challenges 1) lack of general importance on CRMs 2) rising of environmental and social concerns due to

mining activities and generated waste

In line with the Strategic Implementation Plan of the EIP on Raw Materials the general awareness actions that

will be carried out in SCRREEN will aim to generate acceptance and open the path to building trust towards the

sector through improved communication and transparency using appropriate language This public support is

essential to justify the RampD activities and industrial projects that are needed to overcome this dependency in

Europe

The awareness campaign in SCRREEN constitutes a first step towards trust-building it sets the foundation for a

long-term dialogue with subsequent actions to be undertaken by the Expert Network on a continuous basis It

will consist of visual elements carrying key messages aiming to popularize this complex subject and to bring

the issue closer to peoplersquos lives by making it more understandable The campaign will be rolled out through

various channels and tools over a 12-month period with two approaches 1) Push communication mainstream

and specialized media will be targeted to promote the campaign the project and raising awareness on the CRM

issues and solutions two press releases will be issued and a PR agency will be contracted to push these into

appropriate press contacts Online sciencetechnical magazines and relevant blogs with a general audience will

be contacted and targeted to act as relays for our campaign and key messages 2) Pull communication and

dialogue building through Social media (Twitter LinkedIn Instagram) and using SCRREEN public website

This project has received funding from the European Unionrsquos Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 730227

SCRREEN D102 Dissemination amp Exploitation Plan Rev05 23

The figure below summarizes the steps to involve general public

Figure 4 Awareness campaign steps

MESSAGES TO BE CONVEYED

A set of key messages will be developed specifically to inform and educate the general public on critical raw

materials in order to build knowledge that will allow engaging in a dialogue These messages will focus on the

main issues at stake listed below

Raw materials essential elements in todayrsquos industrial production are crucial for the sustainable

functioning of our economy

A shortage of rare earth elements used in everything from electric car batteries to solar panels to

wind turbines will hamper the growth of renewable energy technologies

The increasing demand for raw materials has become a geopolitical issue as a great share of the

worldwide production of CRMs is concentrated in a few countries threatening to affect our

economies if these countries cut back on exports

Although Europersquos dependence on foreign imports of raw materials poses serious risks in terms of

supply price volatility and market distortions many potential business opportunities have risen in

recent years

Waste recycling can allow for a more sustainable use of valuable raw materials and may be one of the

solutions to the environmental impacts of mining and to Europersquos dependence on foreign resources

Europe must find substitutes and develop innovative clean and sustainable technologies for the

exploration extraction and processing of raw materials

The development of the specific messages above will be used to build the general awareness campaign

COMMUNICATION TOOLS AND ACTIVITIES

The reach the objectives listed above a set of tools and channels will be used as described below Please note

that some of them will be also used for dissemination purposes

Each of the partner organizations is responsible for advertising the project on their own website They will

therefore dedicate enough space to the project in their web pages so to properly communicate the project

vision objectives and activities In the same way each of them will be responsible for advertising the action on

SYNERGIES WITH ONGOING PROJECTS AND INITIATIVES

The main aim of SCRREEN is to gather European initiatives associations clusters and projects working on CRMs

into along lasting Expert Network on Critical Raw Materials developing a pro-active international co-operation

strategy of the EU at bilateral and multilateral level promoting synergies not only with EU ongoing projects and

initiatives but also with countries and regions such as the US Japan Australia Canada Latin America and the

African Union across the different areas covered by the EIP due to the composition of both the expert groups

and the consortium members

In particular Clustering activities foreseen in WP11 will facilitate the consensus on CRMs along the different

existing projects avoiding duplicating work and improving efficiency

Moreover SCRREEN will establish synergies with the JRC in the context of the ECrsquos Raw Materials Information

System (RMIS) as well as interfaces for key needs of the RMIS

IMPLEMENTATION OF THE EIP ON RAW MATERIALS

One of the main synergy SCRREEN will guarantee is the contribution to the EIP-RMrsquos Strategic Implementation

Plan (EIP-RM SIP) targets pursuing the following objectives

Substitutes for at least 3 applications of critical and scarce raw materials

Framework conditions for primary raw materials that would provide a stable and competitive supply

from EU sources and facilitate its public acceptance

Framework conditions for enhanced efficiency in material use and in waste prevention re-use and

recycling and resource efficient product design

EU raw materials knowledge base in particular with interfaces to the ECrsquos RMIS with information

flows and dynamic modelling systems for primary and secondary raw materials

Furthermore the project addresses directly the Priority Areas IA (Raw materials research and innovation

coordination) and action area ndeg I1 (Improving RampDampI coordination in the EU) and ndash among others ndash the

following crosscutting way

IIA (Improving Europersquos raw materials framework conditions) and action areas ndeg II1 (Minerals policy

framework) II2 (Access to minerals potential in the EU) and II3 (Public awareness acceptance and

trust)

IIC (Knowledge skills and raw materials flows) and action area ndegII8 (EURMKB)

The project will support also the implementation of the Raw Materials Initiative pillars 2 (Fostering sustainable

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The purpose of this deliverable is to set out a strategy for the communication and dissemination activities carried out by the consortium with a primary objective to support sustainable uptake of project results by end users Target user groups have been identified and ways to reach them have been developed As a dynamic document it will be updated if necessary even after its formal delivery

INTRODUCTION

WP10 Dissemination and Communication as described in the DoA aims at increasing the project impacts

through a wide dissemination of the project results and the intense communication of its achievement The

specific objectives of WP10 include

Spreading information on the projectrsquos activities and results widely among stakeholders

Ensuring the right coordination among the Expert Network and Clustering to increase EU CRM

knowledge through an integrated targeted and participatory dissemination approach

Assuring continuation and sustainability of the Network beyond the project thus paving the way for

the continuous uptake of the results across the relevant European and international communities

Establishing synergies and boosting new collaboration with external parties such as public authorities

and international organizations to utilize a multiplier effect thus contributing to knowledge building

and best practices diffusion in Europe and beyond avoiding overlap of different projects

Linking to the ECrsquos coordination activities for a EU Knowledge Base on Raw Materials in particular to

facilitate its Raw Materials Information System

As a first step SCRREEN will prepare a Specific Measurable Agreed upon Realistic Time-based dissemination

plan considering the bidirectional flow of information paramount to SCRREEN

Gathering and incorporating input from external stakeholders via expert consultation to achieve work

package objectives and

Raising awareness of the CRM issue and disseminating project results to the external stakeholder

community

CONTEXT AND VALUE PROPOSITION

Raw materials are crucial to Europersquos economy and essential to maintaining and improving our quality of life

Securing reliable and unhindered access to certain raw materials is a growing concern within the EU and across

the globe

Figure 1 World production of CRMs (EC 2014)1

To address this challenge the European Commission has created a list of Critical Raw Materials that combine a

high economic importance to the EU with a high risk associated with their supply

Periodically the European Commission publishes a list of CRMs based on a criticality assessment at EU level on

a wide range of raw materials The first list published in 2010 contained 14 CRMs The revised list published in

2014 included additional CRMs reaching a total of 20 CRMS The next list is expected to be published by mid-

2017

The list of CRMs should help to

Implement the EUrsquos industrial policy and strengthen industrial competitiveness

Stimulate the production of CRMs and the launch of new mining activities in the EU

Prioritize actions negotiate trade agreements challenge trade distortion measures

and promote research and innovation

Since the establishment of the Raw Material Initiative by the European Commission and the publication of the first list of Critical Raw Materials many European projects have addressed part of their value chains and several

SCRREEN D102 Dissemination amp Exploitation Plan Rev05 9

initiatives have contributed to gather the community into clusters and associations In parallel this has led to the generation of significant knowledge which has been disseminated in a great number of documents Many databases have also been developed to help gather this information but they have sometimes duplicated existing work Past ongoing and recent networks and projects

2 have produced several in-depth

studies that have created a good level of baseline information on several CRMs

In addition several associations have contributed to structuring the community covering nearly all of the fields related to raw materials and including CRMs in particular The EC itself has initiated several activities including the further development of the RMIS to facilitate its needs with regards to the European Union Knowledge Base on RMs with links to the EIP on Raw Materials and to the EIT- KICs amongst others

However associated stakeholders are divided into numerous associations networks and infrastructures

covering each part of the value chains but often with overlaps Despite the numerous initiatives several CRMs

and their value chains are today poorly addressed in European RampDampI projects

There is lack of harmonized regulations and standardization particularly in WEEE and EOL products treatment

SCRREEN will address these challenges and contribute to improving Europersquos CRM strategy by

Identifying primary and secondary resources as well as substitutes of CRMs and their respective

qualities which are available to Europe (mapping assessing quantifying) in an international context

Estimating the expected EU demand for various CRMs in the future and identifying major trends

Providing policy and technology recommendations and actions for the production of various primary

and secondary CRMs and for their potential substitution in order to secure their supply and decrease

the relative dependence on imports

Providing a plan for transparent consultation with relevant external stakeholders and effective

communication of the findings to the professional and general public across the EU

Addressing EOL products and specifically WEEE issues in particular their mapping and treatment

standardization with regards to CENELEC standards

Allowing for possible changes in the CRM list by offering quick flexibility through value chain

approaches and efficient solutions for the integration of relevant stakeholders in the SCRREEN

network

ROADMAP FOR THE DISSEMINATION AND COMMUNICATION ACTIVITIES

The role of Dissemination and Communication activities is to broaden SCRREEN impacts by raising awareness

on the project results among relevant stakeholders and general public Thus a clear and efficient plan has been

drawn in order to a clear timetable with all the necessary activities to involve as many people as possible

SCRREEN D102 Dissemination amp Exploitation Plan Rev05 10

During the first 6 months of the project the WP leader (ENCO) supported by the project partners establish

proper mechanisms and methods to valorize and spread all non confidential results to the identified target

groups In particular all the Dissemination and Communication materials will be collected defining project

identity and establishing project visibility furthermore the Expert Group will be defined

From M7 a new phase will be launched to start engaging target audience groups and to promote the project

Finally the capitalization of SCRREEN results will start from M25 during this phase mechanisms to ensure a

long-lasting visibility and impact of the SCRREEN Project outcomes are set up

The Figure 1 represents the roadmap that has been designed to reach the EampD objectives defined under

paragraph 31 in a timely and adequate manner

Figure 2 Communication and Dissemination phases

QUALITY MANAGEMENT

The Dissemination and Exploitation Plan sets up rules and criteria to ensure the smooth management and

effective implementation of the dissemination activities Thus the WP Leader envisages lying down specific

procedures for releasing publications and presentations consistent with the Grant Agreement (GA) and

Consortium Agreement (CA) Moreover a set of KPIs has been established as benchmarks for evaluating the

effectiveness and the impact of the dissemination communication and exploitation activities

APPROVAL PROCEDURES FOR PUBLICATIONS AND PRESENTATIONS

DISSEMINATION STRATEGY

A mix of strategic channels and tools has been selected to catch the target groupsrsquo attention on SCRREEN

activities and results focusing in particular on the following aspects To whom (the audience) ndash How (the

method) ndash Why (the purpose of EampD activities) ndash What (the message) ndash When (the timing)

OBJECTIVES OF THE DISSEMINATION ACTIVITIES

Dissemination activities are crucial to create awareness about SCREEN results and to extensively propagate

tangible and intangible assets developed through the project to as wide and relevant audiences as possible and

to fine tune a set of measures to ensure that target groups have access to these results

In particular the following objectives will be pursued during the project activities

To catalyze and animate a permanent critical mass of stakeholders around a common high impact

challenge (importance and supply of CRMs) and opportunity (recovery of CRMs from WEEE and other

EOL products innovative solutions and emerging markets etc)

To inform and engage a variety of target audiences promoting the project findings to the professional

and the general public across the EU

To disseminate the knowledge and findings with all the stakeholder groups widely and efficiently

while supporting better-informed decision-making processes at EU and national level

All the objectives listed above have the final aim of providing bases for further actions starting from SCRREEN

results accelerating innovation involve citizens and society

ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

ENCO acts as WP 10 Leader and will lead SCRREEN EampD activities according to the plan defined in this

document As WP leader ENCO main responsibilities consist of

Table 9 Partner responsible for communication activities

The main aim of SCRREEN communication activities is the engaging with general public tackling two important

challenges 1) lack of general importance on CRMs 2) rising of environmental and social concerns due to

mining activities and generated waste

In line with the Strategic Implementation Plan of the EIP on Raw Materials the general awareness actions that

will be carried out in SCRREEN will aim to generate acceptance and open the path to building trust towards the

sector through improved communication and transparency using appropriate language This public support is

essential to justify the RampD activities and industrial projects that are needed to overcome this dependency in

Europe

The awareness campaign in SCRREEN constitutes a first step towards trust-building it sets the foundation for a

long-term dialogue with subsequent actions to be undertaken by the Expert Network on a continuous basis It

will consist of visual elements carrying key messages aiming to popularize this complex subject and to bring

the issue closer to peoplersquos lives by making it more understandable The campaign will be rolled out through

various channels and tools over a 12-month period with two approaches 1) Push communication mainstream

and specialized media will be targeted to promote the campaign the project and raising awareness on the CRM

issues and solutions two press releases will be issued and a PR agency will be contracted to push these into

appropriate press contacts Online sciencetechnical magazines and relevant blogs with a general audience will

be contacted and targeted to act as relays for our campaign and key messages 2) Pull communication and

dialogue building through Social media (Twitter LinkedIn Instagram) and using SCRREEN public website

The figure below summarizes the steps to involve general public

Figure 4 Awareness campaign steps

MESSAGES TO BE CONVEYED

A set of key messages will be developed specifically to inform and educate the general public on critical raw

materials in order to build knowledge that will allow engaging in a dialogue These messages will focus on the

main issues at stake listed below

Raw materials essential elements in todayrsquos industrial production are crucial for the sustainable

functioning of our economy

A shortage of rare earth elements used in everything from electric car batteries to solar panels to

wind turbines will hamper the growth of renewable energy technologies

The increasing demand for raw materials has become a geopolitical issue as a great share of the

worldwide production of CRMs is concentrated in a few countries threatening to affect our

economies if these countries cut back on exports

Although Europersquos dependence on foreign imports of raw materials poses serious risks in terms of

supply price volatility and market distortions many potential business opportunities have risen in

recent years

Waste recycling can allow for a more sustainable use of valuable raw materials and may be one of the

solutions to the environmental impacts of mining and to Europersquos dependence on foreign resources

Europe must find substitutes and develop innovative clean and sustainable technologies for the

exploration extraction and processing of raw materials

The development of the specific messages above will be used to build the general awareness campaign

COMMUNICATION TOOLS AND ACTIVITIES

The reach the objectives listed above a set of tools and channels will be used as described below Please note

that some of them will be also used for dissemination purposes

CONTEXT AND VALUE PROPOSITION

Raw materials are crucial to Europersquos economy and essential to maintaining and improving our quality of life

Securing reliable and unhindered access to certain raw materials is a growing concern within the EU and across

the globe

Figure 1 World production of CRMs (EC 2014)1

To address this challenge the European Commission has created a list of Critical Raw Materials that combine a

high economic importance to the EU with a high risk associated with their supply

Periodically the European Commission publishes a list of CRMs based on a criticality assessment at EU level on

a wide range of raw materials The first list published in 2010 contained 14 CRMs The revised list published in

2014 included additional CRMs reaching a total of 20 CRMS The next list is expected to be published by mid-

2017

The list of CRMs should help to

Implement the EUrsquos industrial policy and strengthen industrial competitiveness

Stimulate the production of CRMs and the launch of new mining activities in the EU

Prioritize actions negotiate trade agreements challenge trade distortion measures

and promote research and innovation

Since the establishment of the Raw Material Initiative by the European Commission and the publication of the first list of Critical Raw Materials many European projects have addressed part of their value chains and several

SCRREEN D102 Dissemination amp Exploitation Plan Rev05 9

initiatives have contributed to gather the community into clusters and associations In parallel this has led to the generation of significant knowledge which has been disseminated in a great number of documents Many databases have also been developed to help gather this information but they have sometimes duplicated existing work Past ongoing and recent networks and projects

2 have produced several in-depth

studies that have created a good level of baseline information on several CRMs

In addition several associations have contributed to structuring the community covering nearly all of the fields related to raw materials and including CRMs in particular The EC itself has initiated several activities including the further development of the RMIS to facilitate its needs with regards to the European Union Knowledge Base on RMs with links to the EIP on Raw Materials and to the EIT- KICs amongst others

However associated stakeholders are divided into numerous associations networks and infrastructures

covering each part of the value chains but often with overlaps Despite the numerous initiatives several CRMs

and their value chains are today poorly addressed in European RampDampI projects

There is lack of harmonized regulations and standardization particularly in WEEE and EOL products treatment

SCRREEN will address these challenges and contribute to improving Europersquos CRM strategy by

Identifying primary and secondary resources as well as substitutes of CRMs and their respective

qualities which are available to Europe (mapping assessing quantifying) in an international context

Estimating the expected EU demand for various CRMs in the future and identifying major trends

Providing policy and technology recommendations and actions for the production of various primary

and secondary CRMs and for their potential substitution in order to secure their supply and decrease

the relative dependence on imports

Providing a plan for transparent consultation with relevant external stakeholders and effective

communication of the findings to the professional and general public across the EU

Addressing EOL products and specifically WEEE issues in particular their mapping and treatment

standardization with regards to CENELEC standards

Allowing for possible changes in the CRM list by offering quick flexibility through value chain

approaches and efficient solutions for the integration of relevant stakeholders in the SCRREEN

network

ROADMAP FOR THE DISSEMINATION AND COMMUNICATION ACTIVITIES

The role of Dissemination and Communication activities is to broaden SCRREEN impacts by raising awareness

on the project results among relevant stakeholders and general public Thus a clear and efficient plan has been

drawn in order to a clear timetable with all the necessary activities to involve as many people as possible

DISSEMINATION STRATEGY

A mix of strategic channels and tools has been selected to catch the target groupsrsquo attention on SCRREEN

activities and results focusing in particular on the following aspects To whom (the audience) ndash How (the

method) ndash Why (the purpose of EampD activities) ndash What (the message) ndash When (the timing)

OBJECTIVES OF THE DISSEMINATION ACTIVITIES

Dissemination activities are crucial to create awareness about SCREEN results and to extensively propagate

tangible and intangible assets developed through the project to as wide and relevant audiences as possible and

to fine tune a set of measures to ensure that target groups have access to these results

In particular the following objectives will be pursued during the project activities

To catalyze and animate a permanent critical mass of stakeholders around a common high impact

challenge (importance and supply of CRMs) and opportunity (recovery of CRMs from WEEE and other

EOL products innovative solutions and emerging markets etc)

To inform and engage a variety of target audiences promoting the project findings to the professional

and the general public across the EU

To disseminate the knowledge and findings with all the stakeholder groups widely and efficiently

while supporting better-informed decision-making processes at EU and national level

All the objectives listed above have the final aim of providing bases for further actions starting from SCRREEN

results accelerating innovation involve citizens and society

ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

ENCO acts as WP 10 Leader and will lead SCRREEN EampD activities according to the plan defined in this

Table 9 Partner responsible for communication activities

The main aim of SCRREEN communication activities is the engaging with general public tackling two important

challenges 1) lack of general importance on CRMs 2) rising of environmental and social concerns due to

mining activities and generated waste

In line with the Strategic Implementation Plan of the EIP on Raw Materials the general awareness actions that

will be carried out in SCRREEN will aim to generate acceptance and open the path to building trust towards the

sector through improved communication and transparency using appropriate language This public support is

essential to justify the RampD activities and industrial projects that are needed to overcome this dependency in

Europe

The awareness campaign in SCRREEN constitutes a first step towards trust-building it sets the foundation for a

long-term dialogue with subsequent actions to be undertaken by the Expert Network on a continuous basis It

will consist of visual elements carrying key messages aiming to popularize this complex subject and to bring

the issue closer to peoplersquos lives by making it more understandable The campaign will be rolled out through

various channels and tools over a 12-month period with two approaches 1) Push communication mainstream

and specialized media will be targeted to promote the campaign the project and raising awareness on the CRM

issues and solutions two press releases will be issued and a PR agency will be contracted to push these into

appropriate press contacts Online sciencetechnical magazines and relevant blogs with a general audience will

be contacted and targeted to act as relays for our campaign and key messages 2) Pull communication and

dialogue building through Social media (Twitter LinkedIn Instagram) and using SCRREEN public website

This project has received funding from the European Unionrsquos Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 730227

SCRREEN D102 Dissemination amp Exploitation Plan Rev05 23

The figure below summarizes the steps to involve general public

Figure 4 Awareness campaign steps

MESSAGES TO BE CONVEYED

A set of key messages will be developed specifically to inform and educate the general public on critical raw

materials in order to build knowledge that will allow engaging in a dialogue These messages will focus on the

main issues at stake listed below

Raw materials essential elements in todayrsquos industrial production are crucial for the sustainable

functioning of our economy

A shortage of rare earth elements used in everything from electric car batteries to solar panels to

wind turbines will hamper the growth of renewable energy technologies

The increasing demand for raw materials has become a geopolitical issue as a great share of the

worldwide production of CRMs is concentrated in a few countries threatening to affect our

economies if these countries cut back on exports

Although Europersquos dependence on foreign imports of raw materials poses serious risks in terms of

supply price volatility and market distortions many potential business opportunities have risen in

recent years

Waste recycling can allow for a more sustainable use of valuable raw materials and may be one of the

solutions to the environmental impacts of mining and to Europersquos dependence on foreign resources

Europe must find substitutes and develop innovative clean and sustainable technologies for the

exploration extraction and processing of raw materials

The development of the specific messages above will be used to build the general awareness campaign

COMMUNICATION TOOLS AND ACTIVITIES

The reach the objectives listed above a set of tools and channels will be used as described below Please note

that some of them will be also used for dissemination purposes

Each of the partner organizations is responsible for advertising the project on their own website They will

therefore dedicate enough space to the project in their web pages so to properly communicate the project

vision objectives and activities In the same way each of them will be responsible for advertising the action on

SYNERGIES WITH ONGOING PROJECTS AND INITIATIVES

The main aim of SCRREEN is to gather European initiatives associations clusters and projects working on CRMs

into along lasting Expert Network on Critical Raw Materials developing a pro-active international co-operation

strategy of the EU at bilateral and multilateral level promoting synergies not only with EU ongoing projects and

initiatives but also with countries and regions such as the US Japan Australia Canada Latin America and the

African Union across the different areas covered by the EIP due to the composition of both the expert groups

and the consortium members

In particular Clustering activities foreseen in WP11 will facilitate the consensus on CRMs along the different

existing projects avoiding duplicating work and improving efficiency

Moreover SCRREEN will establish synergies with the JRC in the context of the ECrsquos Raw Materials Information

System (RMIS) as well as interfaces for key needs of the RMIS

IMPLEMENTATION OF THE EIP ON RAW MATERIALS

One of the main synergy SCRREEN will guarantee is the contribution to the EIP-RMrsquos Strategic Implementation

CONTEXT AND VALUE PROPOSITION

Raw materials are crucial to Europersquos economy and essential to maintaining and improving our quality of life

Securing reliable and unhindered access to certain raw materials is a growing concern within the EU and across

the globe

Figure 1 World production of CRMs (EC 2014)1

To address this challenge the European Commission has created a list of Critical Raw Materials that combine a

high economic importance to the EU with a high risk associated with their supply

Periodically the European Commission publishes a list of CRMs based on a criticality assessment at EU level on

a wide range of raw materials The first list published in 2010 contained 14 CRMs The revised list published in

2014 included additional CRMs reaching a total of 20 CRMS The next list is expected to be published by mid-

2017

The list of CRMs should help to

Implement the EUrsquos industrial policy and strengthen industrial competitiveness

Stimulate the production of CRMs and the launch of new mining activities in the EU

Prioritize actions negotiate trade agreements challenge trade distortion measures

and promote research and innovation

Since the establishment of the Raw Material Initiative by the European Commission and the publication of the first list of Critical Raw Materials many European projects have addressed part of their value chains and several

SCRREEN D102 Dissemination amp Exploitation Plan Rev05 9

initiatives have contributed to gather the community into clusters and associations In parallel this has led to the generation of significant knowledge which has been disseminated in a great number of documents Many databases have also been developed to help gather this information but they have sometimes duplicated existing work Past ongoing and recent networks and projects

2 have produced several in-depth

studies that have created a good level of baseline information on several CRMs

In addition several associations have contributed to structuring the community covering nearly all of the fields related to raw materials and including CRMs in particular The EC itself has initiated several activities including the further development of the RMIS to facilitate its needs with regards to the European Union Knowledge Base on RMs with links to the EIP on Raw Materials and to the EIT- KICs amongst others

However associated stakeholders are divided into numerous associations networks and infrastructures

covering each part of the value chains but often with overlaps Despite the numerous initiatives several CRMs

and their value chains are today poorly addressed in European RampDampI projects

There is lack of harmonized regulations and standardization particularly in WEEE and EOL products treatment

SCRREEN will address these challenges and contribute to improving Europersquos CRM strategy by

Identifying primary and secondary resources as well as substitutes of CRMs and their respective

qualities which are available to Europe (mapping assessing quantifying) in an international context

Estimating the expected EU demand for various CRMs in the future and identifying major trends

Providing policy and technology recommendations and actions for the production of various primary

and secondary CRMs and for their potential substitution in order to secure their supply and decrease

the relative dependence on imports

Providing a plan for transparent consultation with relevant external stakeholders and effective

communication of the findings to the professional and general public across the EU

Addressing EOL products and specifically WEEE issues in particular their mapping and treatment

standardization with regards to CENELEC standards

Allowing for possible changes in the CRM list by offering quick flexibility through value chain

approaches and efficient solutions for the integration of relevant stakeholders in the SCRREEN

network

ROADMAP FOR THE DISSEMINATION AND COMMUNICATION ACTIVITIES

The role of Dissemination and Communication activities is to broaden SCRREEN impacts by raising awareness

on the project results among relevant stakeholders and general public Thus a clear and efficient plan has been

drawn in order to a clear timetable with all the necessary activities to involve as many people as possible

activities and results focusing in particular on the following aspects To whom (the audience) ndash How (the

method) ndash Why (the purpose of EampD activities) ndash What (the message) ndash When (the timing)

OBJECTIVES OF THE DISSEMINATION ACTIVITIES

Dissemination activities are crucial to create awareness about SCREEN results and to extensively propagate

tangible and intangible assets developed through the project to as wide and relevant audiences as possible and

to fine tune a set of measures to ensure that target groups have access to these results

In particular the following objectives will be pursued during the project activities

To catalyze and animate a permanent critical mass of stakeholders around a common high impact

challenge (importance and supply of CRMs) and opportunity (recovery of CRMs from WEEE and other

EOL products innovative solutions and emerging markets etc)

To inform and engage a variety of target audiences promoting the project findings to the professional

and the general public across the EU

To disseminate the knowledge and findings with all the stakeholder groups widely and efficiently

while supporting better-informed decision-making processes at EU and national level

All the objectives listed above have the final aim of providing bases for further actions starting from SCRREEN

results accelerating innovation involve citizens and society

Table 9 Partner responsible for communication activities

The main aim of SCRREEN communication activities is the engaging with general public tackling two important

challenges 1) lack of general importance on CRMs 2) rising of environmental and social concerns due to

mining activities and generated waste

In line with the Strategic Implementation Plan of the EIP on Raw Materials the general awareness actions that

will be carried out in SCRREEN will aim to generate acceptance and open the path to building trust towards the

sector through improved communication and transparency using appropriate language This public support is

essential to justify the RampD activities and industrial projects that are needed to overcome this dependency in

Europe

The awareness campaign in SCRREEN constitutes a first step towards trust-building it sets the foundation for a

long-term dialogue with subsequent actions to be undertaken by the Expert Network on a continuous basis It

will consist of visual elements carrying key messages aiming to popularize this complex subject and to bring

the issue closer to peoplersquos lives by making it more understandable The campaign will be rolled out through

various channels and tools over a 12-month period with two approaches 1) Push communication mainstream

and specialized media will be targeted to promote the campaign the project and raising awareness on the CRM

issues and solutions two press releases will be issued and a PR agency will be contracted to push these into

appropriate press contacts Online sciencetechnical magazines and relevant blogs with a general audience will

be contacted and targeted to act as relays for our campaign and key messages 2) Pull communication and

dialogue building through Social media (Twitter LinkedIn Instagram) and using SCRREEN public website

This project has received funding from the European Unionrsquos Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 730227

SCRREEN D102 Dissemination amp Exploitation Plan Rev05 23

The figure below summarizes the steps to involve general public

Figure 4 Awareness campaign steps

MESSAGES TO BE CONVEYED

A set of key messages will be developed specifically to inform and educate the general public on critical raw

materials in order to build knowledge that will allow engaging in a dialogue These messages will focus on the

main issues at stake listed below

Raw materials essential elements in todayrsquos industrial production are crucial for the sustainable

functioning of our economy

A shortage of rare earth elements used in everything from electric car batteries to solar panels to

wind turbines will hamper the growth of renewable energy technologies

The increasing demand for raw materials has become a geopolitical issue as a great share of the

worldwide production of CRMs is concentrated in a few countries threatening to affect our

economies if these countries cut back on exports

Although Europersquos dependence on foreign imports of raw materials poses serious risks in terms of

supply price volatility and market distortions many potential business opportunities have risen in

recent years

Waste recycling can allow for a more sustainable use of valuable raw materials and may be one of the

solutions to the environmental impacts of mining and to Europersquos dependence on foreign resources

Europe must find substitutes and develop innovative clean and sustainable technologies for the

exploration extraction and processing of raw materials

The development of the specific messages above will be used to build the general awareness campaign

COMMUNICATION TOOLS AND ACTIVITIES

The reach the objectives listed above a set of tools and channels will be used as described below Please note

that some of them will be also used for dissemination purposes

initiatives have contributed to gather the community into clusters and associations In parallel this has led to the generation of significant knowledge which has been disseminated in a great number of documents Many databases have also been developed to help gather this information but they have sometimes duplicated existing work Past ongoing and recent networks and projects

2 have produced several in-depth

studies that have created a good level of baseline information on several CRMs

In addition several associations have contributed to structuring the community covering nearly all of the fields related to raw materials and including CRMs in particular The EC itself has initiated several activities including the further development of the RMIS to facilitate its needs with regards to the European Union Knowledge Base on RMs with links to the EIP on Raw Materials and to the EIT- KICs amongst others

However associated stakeholders are divided into numerous associations networks and infrastructures

covering each part of the value chains but often with overlaps Despite the numerous initiatives several CRMs

and their value chains are today poorly addressed in European RampDampI projects

There is lack of harmonized regulations and standardization particularly in WEEE and EOL products treatment

SCRREEN will address these challenges and contribute to improving Europersquos CRM strategy by

Identifying primary and secondary resources as well as substitutes of CRMs and their respective

DISSEMINATION STRATEGY

A mix of strategic channels and tools has been selected to catch the target groupsrsquo attention on SCRREEN

activities and results focusing in particular on the following aspects To whom (the audience) ndash How (the

method) ndash Why (the purpose of EampD activities) ndash What (the message) ndash When (the timing)

OBJECTIVES OF THE DISSEMINATION ACTIVITIES

Dissemination activities are crucial to create awareness about SCREEN results and to extensively propagate

tangible and intangible assets developed through the project to as wide and relevant audiences as possible and

to fine tune a set of measures to ensure that target groups have access to these results

In particular the following objectives will be pursued during the project activities

To catalyze and animate a permanent critical mass of stakeholders around a common high impact

challenge (importance and supply of CRMs) and opportunity (recovery of CRMs from WEEE and other

EOL products innovative solutions and emerging markets etc)

To inform and engage a variety of target audiences promoting the project findings to the professional

and the general public across the EU

To disseminate the knowledge and findings with all the stakeholder groups widely and efficiently

while supporting better-informed decision-making processes at EU and national level

All the objectives listed above have the final aim of providing bases for further actions starting from SCRREEN

results accelerating innovation involve citizens and society

ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

ENCO acts as WP 10 Leader and will lead SCRREEN EampD activities according to the plan defined in this

document As WP leader ENCO main responsibilities consist of

Table 9 Partner responsible for communication activities

The main aim of SCRREEN communication activities is the engaging with general public tackling two important

challenges 1) lack of general importance on CRMs 2) rising of environmental and social concerns due to

mining activities and generated waste

In line with the Strategic Implementation Plan of the EIP on Raw Materials the general awareness actions that

will be carried out in SCRREEN will aim to generate acceptance and open the path to building trust towards the

sector through improved communication and transparency using appropriate language This public support is

essential to justify the RampD activities and industrial projects that are needed to overcome this dependency in

Europe

The awareness campaign in SCRREEN constitutes a first step towards trust-building it sets the foundation for a

long-term dialogue with subsequent actions to be undertaken by the Expert Network on a continuous basis It

will consist of visual elements carrying key messages aiming to popularize this complex subject and to bring

the issue closer to peoplersquos lives by making it more understandable The campaign will be rolled out through

various channels and tools over a 12-month period with two approaches 1) Push communication mainstream

and specialized media will be targeted to promote the campaign the project and raising awareness on the CRM

issues and solutions two press releases will be issued and a PR agency will be contracted to push these into

appropriate press contacts Online sciencetechnical magazines and relevant blogs with a general audience will

be contacted and targeted to act as relays for our campaign and key messages 2) Pull communication and

dialogue building through Social media (Twitter LinkedIn Instagram) and using SCRREEN public website

This project has received funding from the European Unionrsquos Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 730227

SCRREEN D102 Dissemination amp Exploitation Plan Rev05 23

The figure below summarizes the steps to involve general public

Figure 4 Awareness campaign steps

MESSAGES TO BE CONVEYED

A set of key messages will be developed specifically to inform and educate the general public on critical raw

materials in order to build knowledge that will allow engaging in a dialogue These messages will focus on the

main issues at stake listed below

Raw materials essential elements in todayrsquos industrial production are crucial for the sustainable

functioning of our economy

A shortage of rare earth elements used in everything from electric car batteries to solar panels to

wind turbines will hamper the growth of renewable energy technologies

The increasing demand for raw materials has become a geopolitical issue as a great share of the

worldwide production of CRMs is concentrated in a few countries threatening to affect our

economies if these countries cut back on exports

Although Europersquos dependence on foreign imports of raw materials poses serious risks in terms of

supply price volatility and market distortions many potential business opportunities have risen in

recent years

Waste recycling can allow for a more sustainable use of valuable raw materials and may be one of the

solutions to the environmental impacts of mining and to Europersquos dependence on foreign resources

Europe must find substitutes and develop innovative clean and sustainable technologies for the

exploration extraction and processing of raw materials

The development of the specific messages above will be used to build the general awareness campaign

COMMUNICATION TOOLS AND ACTIVITIES

The reach the objectives listed above a set of tools and channels will be used as described below Please note

that some of them will be also used for dissemination purposes

Each of the partner organizations is responsible for advertising the project on their own website They will

therefore dedicate enough space to the project in their web pages so to properly communicate the project

vision objectives and activities In the same way each of them will be responsible for advertising the action on

Table 9 Partner responsible for communication activities

The main aim of SCRREEN communication activities is the engaging with general public tackling two important

challenges 1) lack of general importance on CRMs 2) rising of environmental and social concerns due to

mining activities and generated waste

In line with the Strategic Implementation Plan of the EIP on Raw Materials the general awareness actions that

will be carried out in SCRREEN will aim to generate acceptance and open the path to building trust towards the

sector through improved communication and transparency using appropriate language This public support is

essential to justify the RampD activities and industrial projects that are needed to overcome this dependency in

Europe

The awareness campaign in SCRREEN constitutes a first step towards trust-building it sets the foundation for a

long-term dialogue with subsequent actions to be undertaken by the Expert Network on a continuous basis It

will consist of visual elements carrying key messages aiming to popularize this complex subject and to bring

the issue closer to peoplersquos lives by making it more understandable The campaign will be rolled out through

various channels and tools over a 12-month period with two approaches 1) Push communication mainstream

and specialized media will be targeted to promote the campaign the project and raising awareness on the CRM

issues and solutions two press releases will be issued and a PR agency will be contracted to push these into

appropriate press contacts Online sciencetechnical magazines and relevant blogs with a general audience will

be contacted and targeted to act as relays for our campaign and key messages 2) Pull communication and

dialogue building through Social media (Twitter LinkedIn Instagram) and using SCRREEN public website

This project has received funding from the European Unionrsquos Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 730227

SCRREEN D102 Dissemination amp Exploitation Plan Rev05 23

The figure below summarizes the steps to involve general public

Figure 4 Awareness campaign steps

MESSAGES TO BE CONVEYED

A set of key messages will be developed specifically to inform and educate the general public on critical raw

materials in order to build knowledge that will allow engaging in a dialogue These messages will focus on the

main issues at stake listed below

Raw materials essential elements in todayrsquos industrial production are crucial for the sustainable

functioning of our economy

A shortage of rare earth elements used in everything from electric car batteries to solar panels to

wind turbines will hamper the growth of renewable energy technologies

The increasing demand for raw materials has become a geopolitical issue as a great share of the

worldwide production of CRMs is concentrated in a few countries threatening to affect our

economies if these countries cut back on exports

Although Europersquos dependence on foreign imports of raw materials poses serious risks in terms of

supply price volatility and market distortions many potential business opportunities have risen in

recent years

Waste recycling can allow for a more sustainable use of valuable raw materials and may be one of the

solutions to the environmental impacts of mining and to Europersquos dependence on foreign resources

Europe must find substitutes and develop innovative clean and sustainable technologies for the

exploration extraction and processing of raw materials

The development of the specific messages above will be used to build the general awareness campaign

COMMUNICATION TOOLS AND ACTIVITIES

The reach the objectives listed above a set of tools and channels will be used as described below Please note

that some of them will be also used for dissemination purposes

DISSEMINATION STRATEGY

A mix of strategic channels and tools has been selected to catch the target groupsrsquo attention on SCRREEN

activities and results focusing in particular on the following aspects To whom (the audience) ndash How (the

method) ndash Why (the purpose of EampD activities) ndash What (the message) ndash When (the timing)

OBJECTIVES OF THE DISSEMINATION ACTIVITIES

Dissemination activities are crucial to create awareness about SCREEN results and to extensively propagate

tangible and intangible assets developed through the project to as wide and relevant audiences as possible and

to fine tune a set of measures to ensure that target groups have access to these results

In particular the following objectives will be pursued during the project activities

To catalyze and animate a permanent critical mass of stakeholders around a common high impact

challenge (importance and supply of CRMs) and opportunity (recovery of CRMs from WEEE and other

EOL products innovative solutions and emerging markets etc)

To inform and engage a variety of target audiences promoting the project findings to the professional

and the general public across the EU

To disseminate the knowledge and findings with all the stakeholder groups widely and efficiently

while supporting better-informed decision-making processes at EU and national level

All the objectives listed above have the final aim of providing bases for further actions starting from SCRREEN

results accelerating innovation involve citizens and society

Table 9 Partner responsible for communication activities

The main aim of SCRREEN communication activities is the engaging with general public tackling two important

challenges 1) lack of general importance on CRMs 2) rising of environmental and social concerns due to

mining activities and generated waste

In line with the Strategic Implementation Plan of the EIP on Raw Materials the general awareness actions that

will be carried out in SCRREEN will aim to generate acceptance and open the path to building trust towards the

sector through improved communication and transparency using appropriate language This public support is

essential to justify the RampD activities and industrial projects that are needed to overcome this dependency in

Europe

The awareness campaign in SCRREEN constitutes a first step towards trust-building it sets the foundation for a

long-term dialogue with subsequent actions to be undertaken by the Expert Network on a continuous basis It

will consist of visual elements carrying key messages aiming to popularize this complex subject and to bring

the issue closer to peoplersquos lives by making it more understandable The campaign will be rolled out through

various channels and tools over a 12-month period with two approaches 1) Push communication mainstream

and specialized media will be targeted to promote the campaign the project and raising awareness on the CRM

issues and solutions two press releases will be issued and a PR agency will be contracted to push these into

appropriate press contacts Online sciencetechnical magazines and relevant blogs with a general audience will

be contacted and targeted to act as relays for our campaign and key messages 2) Pull communication and

dialogue building through Social media (Twitter LinkedIn Instagram) and using SCRREEN public website

This project has received funding from the European Unionrsquos Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 730227

SCRREEN D102 Dissemination amp Exploitation Plan Rev05 23

The figure below summarizes the steps to involve general public

Figure 4 Awareness campaign steps

MESSAGES TO BE CONVEYED

A set of key messages will be developed specifically to inform and educate the general public on critical raw

materials in order to build knowledge that will allow engaging in a dialogue These messages will focus on the

main issues at stake listed below

Raw materials essential elements in todayrsquos industrial production are crucial for the sustainable

functioning of our economy

A shortage of rare earth elements used in everything from electric car batteries to solar panels to

wind turbines will hamper the growth of renewable energy technologies

The increasing demand for raw materials has become a geopolitical issue as a great share of the

worldwide production of CRMs is concentrated in a few countries threatening to affect our

economies if these countries cut back on exports

Although Europersquos dependence on foreign imports of raw materials poses serious risks in terms of

supply price volatility and market distortions many potential business opportunities have risen in

recent years

Waste recycling can allow for a more sustainable use of valuable raw materials and may be one of the

solutions to the environmental impacts of mining and to Europersquos dependence on foreign resources

Europe must find substitutes and develop innovative clean and sustainable technologies for the

exploration extraction and processing of raw materials

The development of the specific messages above will be used to build the general awareness campaign

COMMUNICATION TOOLS AND ACTIVITIES

The reach the objectives listed above a set of tools and channels will be used as described below Please note

that some of them will be also used for dissemination purposes

Each of the partner organizations is responsible for advertising the project on their own website They will

therefore dedicate enough space to the project in their web pages so to properly communicate the project

vision objectives and activities In the same way each of them will be responsible for advertising the action on

SYNERGIES WITH ONGOING PROJECTS AND INITIATIVES

The main aim of SCRREEN is to gather European initiatives associations clusters and projects working on CRMs

into along lasting Expert Network on Critical Raw Materials developing a pro-active international co-operation

strategy of the EU at bilateral and multilateral level promoting synergies not only with EU ongoing projects and

initiatives but also with countries and regions such as the US Japan Australia Canada Latin America and the

African Union across the different areas covered by the EIP due to the composition of both the expert groups

and the consortium members

In particular Clustering activities foreseen in WP11 will facilitate the consensus on CRMs along the different

existing projects avoiding duplicating work and improving efficiency

Moreover SCRREEN will establish synergies with the JRC in the context of the ECrsquos Raw Materials Information

System (RMIS) as well as interfaces for key needs of the RMIS

IMPLEMENTATION OF THE EIP ON RAW MATERIALS

One of the main synergy SCRREEN will guarantee is the contribution to the EIP-RMrsquos Strategic Implementation

Plan (EIP-RM SIP) targets pursuing the following objectives

Substitutes for at least 3 applications of critical and scarce raw materials

Framework conditions for primary raw materials that would provide a stable and competitive supply

from EU sources and facilitate its public acceptance

Framework conditions for enhanced efficiency in material use and in waste prevention re-use and

recycling and resource efficient product design

EU raw materials knowledge base in particular with interfaces to the ECrsquos RMIS with information

flows and dynamic modelling systems for primary and secondary raw materials

Furthermore the project addresses directly the Priority Areas IA (Raw materials research and innovation

coordination) and action area ndeg I1 (Improving RampDampI coordination in the EU) and ndash among others ndash the

following crosscutting way

IIA (Improving Europersquos raw materials framework conditions) and action areas ndeg II1 (Minerals policy

framework) II2 (Access to minerals potential in the EU) and II3 (Public awareness acceptance and

trust)

IIC (Knowledge skills and raw materials flows) and action area ndegII8 (EURMKB)

The project will support also the implementation of the Raw Materials Initiative pillars 2 (Fostering sustainable

supply) and 3 (Boosting resource efficiency and promoting recycling)

Table 9 Partner responsible for communication activities

The main aim of SCRREEN communication activities is the engaging with general public tackling two important

challenges 1) lack of general importance on CRMs 2) rising of environmental and social concerns due to

mining activities and generated waste

In line with the Strategic Implementation Plan of the EIP on Raw Materials the general awareness actions that

will be carried out in SCRREEN will aim to generate acceptance and open the path to building trust towards the

sector through improved communication and transparency using appropriate language This public support is

essential to justify the RampD activities and industrial projects that are needed to overcome this dependency in

Europe

The awareness campaign in SCRREEN constitutes a first step towards trust-building it sets the foundation for a

long-term dialogue with subsequent actions to be undertaken by the Expert Network on a continuous basis It

will consist of visual elements carrying key messages aiming to popularize this complex subject and to bring

the issue closer to peoplersquos lives by making it more understandable The campaign will be rolled out through

various channels and tools over a 12-month period with two approaches 1) Push communication mainstream

and specialized media will be targeted to promote the campaign the project and raising awareness on the CRM

issues and solutions two press releases will be issued and a PR agency will be contracted to push these into

appropriate press contacts Online sciencetechnical magazines and relevant blogs with a general audience will

be contacted and targeted to act as relays for our campaign and key messages 2) Pull communication and

dialogue building through Social media (Twitter LinkedIn Instagram) and using SCRREEN public website

This project has received funding from the European Unionrsquos Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 730227

SCRREEN D102 Dissemination amp Exploitation Plan Rev05 23

The figure below summarizes the steps to involve general public

Figure 4 Awareness campaign steps

MESSAGES TO BE CONVEYED

A set of key messages will be developed specifically to inform and educate the general public on critical raw

materials in order to build knowledge that will allow engaging in a dialogue These messages will focus on the

main issues at stake listed below

Raw materials essential elements in todayrsquos industrial production are crucial for the sustainable

functioning of our economy

A shortage of rare earth elements used in everything from electric car batteries to solar panels to

wind turbines will hamper the growth of renewable energy technologies

The increasing demand for raw materials has become a geopolitical issue as a great share of the

worldwide production of CRMs is concentrated in a few countries threatening to affect our

economies if these countries cut back on exports

Although Europersquos dependence on foreign imports of raw materials poses serious risks in terms of

supply price volatility and market distortions many potential business opportunities have risen in

recent years

Waste recycling can allow for a more sustainable use of valuable raw materials and may be one of the

solutions to the environmental impacts of mining and to Europersquos dependence on foreign resources

Europe must find substitutes and develop innovative clean and sustainable technologies for the

exploration extraction and processing of raw materials

The development of the specific messages above will be used to build the general awareness campaign

COMMUNICATION TOOLS AND ACTIVITIES

The reach the objectives listed above a set of tools and channels will be used as described below Please note

that some of them will be also used for dissemination purposes

Each of the partner organizations is responsible for advertising the project on their own website They will

therefore dedicate enough space to the project in their web pages so to properly communicate the project

vision objectives and activities In the same way each of them will be responsible for advertising the action on

Table 9 Partner responsible for communication activities

The main aim of SCRREEN communication activities is the engaging with general public tackling two important

challenges 1) lack of general importance on CRMs 2) rising of environmental and social concerns due to

mining activities and generated waste

In line with the Strategic Implementation Plan of the EIP on Raw Materials the general awareness actions that

will be carried out in SCRREEN will aim to generate acceptance and open the path to building trust towards the

sector through improved communication and transparency using appropriate language This public support is

essential to justify the RampD activities and industrial projects that are needed to overcome this dependency in

Europe

The awareness campaign in SCRREEN constitutes a first step towards trust-building it sets the foundation for a

long-term dialogue with subsequent actions to be undertaken by the Expert Network on a continuous basis It

will consist of visual elements carrying key messages aiming to popularize this complex subject and to bring

the issue closer to peoplersquos lives by making it more understandable The campaign will be rolled out through

various channels and tools over a 12-month period with two approaches 1) Push communication mainstream

and specialized media will be targeted to promote the campaign the project and raising awareness on the CRM

issues and solutions two press releases will be issued and a PR agency will be contracted to push these into

appropriate press contacts Online sciencetechnical magazines and relevant blogs with a general audience will

be contacted and targeted to act as relays for our campaign and key messages 2) Pull communication and

dialogue building through Social media (Twitter LinkedIn Instagram) and using SCRREEN public website

The figure below summarizes the steps to involve general public

Figure 4 Awareness campaign steps

MESSAGES TO BE CONVEYED

A set of key messages will be developed specifically to inform and educate the general public on critical raw

materials in order to build knowledge that will allow engaging in a dialogue These messages will focus on the

main issues at stake listed below

Raw materials essential elements in todayrsquos industrial production are crucial for the sustainable

functioning of our economy

A shortage of rare earth elements used in everything from electric car batteries to solar panels to

wind turbines will hamper the growth of renewable energy technologies

The increasing demand for raw materials has become a geopolitical issue as a great share of the

worldwide production of CRMs is concentrated in a few countries threatening to affect our

economies if these countries cut back on exports

Although Europersquos dependence on foreign imports of raw materials poses serious risks in terms of

supply price volatility and market distortions many potential business opportunities have risen in

recent years

Waste recycling can allow for a more sustainable use of valuable raw materials and may be one of the

solutions to the environmental impacts of mining and to Europersquos dependence on foreign resources

Europe must find substitutes and develop innovative clean and sustainable technologies for the

exploration extraction and processing of raw materials

The development of the specific messages above will be used to build the general awareness campaign

COMMUNICATION TOOLS AND ACTIVITIES

The reach the objectives listed above a set of tools and channels will be used as described below Please note

that some of them will be also used for dissemination purposes

Table 9 Partner responsible for communication activities

The main aim of SCRREEN communication activities is the engaging with general public tackling two important

challenges 1) lack of general importance on CRMs 2) rising of environmental and social concerns due to

mining activities and generated waste

In line with the Strategic Implementation Plan of the EIP on Raw Materials the general awareness actions that

will be carried out in SCRREEN will aim to generate acceptance and open the path to building trust towards the

sector through improved communication and transparency using appropriate language This public support is

essential to justify the RampD activities and industrial projects that are needed to overcome this dependency in

Europe

The awareness campaign in SCRREEN constitutes a first step towards trust-building it sets the foundation for a

long-term dialogue with subsequent actions to be undertaken by the Expert Network on a continuous basis It

will consist of visual elements carrying key messages aiming to popularize this complex subject and to bring

the issue closer to peoplersquos lives by making it more understandable The campaign will be rolled out through

various channels and tools over a 12-month period with two approaches 1) Push communication mainstream

and specialized media will be targeted to promote the campaign the project and raising awareness on the CRM

issues and solutions two press releases will be issued and a PR agency will be contracted to push these into

appropriate press contacts Online sciencetechnical magazines and relevant blogs with a general audience will

be contacted and targeted to act as relays for our campaign and key messages 2) Pull communication and

dialogue building through Social media (Twitter LinkedIn Instagram) and using SCRREEN public website

This project has received funding from the European Unionrsquos Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 730227

SCRREEN D102 Dissemination amp Exploitation Plan Rev05 23

The figure below summarizes the steps to involve general public

Figure 4 Awareness campaign steps

MESSAGES TO BE CONVEYED

A set of key messages will be developed specifically to inform and educate the general public on critical raw

materials in order to build knowledge that will allow engaging in a dialogue These messages will focus on the

main issues at stake listed below

Raw materials essential elements in todayrsquos industrial production are crucial for the sustainable

functioning of our economy

A shortage of rare earth elements used in everything from electric car batteries to solar panels to

wind turbines will hamper the growth of renewable energy technologies

The increasing demand for raw materials has become a geopolitical issue as a great share of the

worldwide production of CRMs is concentrated in a few countries threatening to affect our

economies if these countries cut back on exports

Although Europersquos dependence on foreign imports of raw materials poses serious risks in terms of

supply price volatility and market distortions many potential business opportunities have risen in

recent years

Waste recycling can allow for a more sustainable use of valuable raw materials and may be one of the

solutions to the environmental impacts of mining and to Europersquos dependence on foreign resources

Europe must find substitutes and develop innovative clean and sustainable technologies for the

exploration extraction and processing of raw materials

The development of the specific messages above will be used to build the general awareness campaign

COMMUNICATION TOOLS AND ACTIVITIES

The reach the objectives listed above a set of tools and channels will be used as described below Please note

that some of them will be also used for dissemination purposes

Table 9 Partner responsible for communication activities

The main aim of SCRREEN communication activities is the engaging with general public tackling two important

challenges 1) lack of general importance on CRMs 2) rising of environmental and social concerns due to

mining activities and generated waste

In line with the Strategic Implementation Plan of the EIP on Raw Materials the general awareness actions that

will be carried out in SCRREEN will aim to generate acceptance and open the path to building trust towards the

sector through improved communication and transparency using appropriate language This public support is

essential to justify the RampD activities and industrial projects that are needed to overcome this dependency in

Europe

The awareness campaign in SCRREEN constitutes a first step towards trust-building it sets the foundation for a

long-term dialogue with subsequent actions to be undertaken by the Expert Network on a continuous basis It

will consist of visual elements carrying key messages aiming to popularize this complex subject and to bring

the issue closer to peoplersquos lives by making it more understandable The campaign will be rolled out through

various channels and tools over a 12-month period with two approaches 1) Push communication mainstream

and specialized media will be targeted to promote the campaign the project and raising awareness on the CRM

issues and solutions two press releases will be issued and a PR agency will be contracted to push these into

appropriate press contacts Online sciencetechnical magazines and relevant blogs with a general audience will

be contacted and targeted to act as relays for our campaign and key messages 2) Pull communication and

dialogue building through Social media (Twitter LinkedIn Instagram) and using SCRREEN public website

This project has received funding from the European Unionrsquos Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 730227

SCRREEN D102 Dissemination amp Exploitation Plan Rev05 23

The figure below summarizes the steps to involve general public

Figure 4 Awareness campaign steps

MESSAGES TO BE CONVEYED

A set of key messages will be developed specifically to inform and educate the general public on critical raw

materials in order to build knowledge that will allow engaging in a dialogue These messages will focus on the

main issues at stake listed below

Raw materials essential elements in todayrsquos industrial production are crucial for the sustainable

functioning of our economy

A shortage of rare earth elements used in everything from electric car batteries to solar panels to

wind turbines will hamper the growth of renewable energy technologies

The increasing demand for raw materials has become a geopolitical issue as a great share of the

worldwide production of CRMs is concentrated in a few countries threatening to affect our

economies if these countries cut back on exports

Although Europersquos dependence on foreign imports of raw materials poses serious risks in terms of

supply price volatility and market distortions many potential business opportunities have risen in

recent years

Waste recycling can allow for a more sustainable use of valuable raw materials and may be one of the

solutions to the environmental impacts of mining and to Europersquos dependence on foreign resources

Europe must find substitutes and develop innovative clean and sustainable technologies for the

exploration extraction and processing of raw materials

The development of the specific messages above will be used to build the general awareness campaign

COMMUNICATION TOOLS AND ACTIVITIES

The reach the objectives listed above a set of tools and channels will be used as described below Please note

that some of them will be also used for dissemination purposes

Each of the partner organizations is responsible for advertising the project on their own website They will

therefore dedicate enough space to the project in their web pages so to properly communicate the project

vision objectives and activities In the same way each of them will be responsible for advertising the action on

SYNERGIES WITH ONGOING PROJECTS AND INITIATIVES

The main aim of SCRREEN is to gather European initiatives associations clusters and projects working on CRMs

into along lasting Expert Network on Critical Raw Materials developing a pro-active international co-operation

strategy of the EU at bilateral and multilateral level promoting synergies not only with EU ongoing projects and

initiatives but also with countries and regions such as the US Japan Australia Canada Latin America and the

African Union across the different areas covered by the EIP due to the composition of both the expert groups

and the consortium members

In particular Clustering activities foreseen in WP11 will facilitate the consensus on CRMs along the different

existing projects avoiding duplicating work and improving efficiency

Moreover SCRREEN will establish synergies with the JRC in the context of the ECrsquos Raw Materials Information

System (RMIS) as well as interfaces for key needs of the RMIS

IMPLEMENTATION OF THE EIP ON RAW MATERIALS

One of the main synergy SCRREEN will guarantee is the contribution to the EIP-RMrsquos Strategic Implementation

Plan (EIP-RM SIP) targets pursuing the following objectives

Substitutes for at least 3 applications of critical and scarce raw materials

Framework conditions for primary raw materials that would provide a stable and competitive supply

from EU sources and facilitate its public acceptance

Framework conditions for enhanced efficiency in material use and in waste prevention re-use and

recycling and resource efficient product design

EU raw materials knowledge base in particular with interfaces to the ECrsquos RMIS with information

flows and dynamic modelling systems for primary and secondary raw materials

Furthermore the project addresses directly the Priority Areas IA (Raw materials research and innovation

coordination) and action area ndeg I1 (Improving RampDampI coordination in the EU) and ndash among others ndash the

following crosscutting way

Table 9 Partner responsible for communication activities

The main aim of SCRREEN communication activities is the engaging with general public tackling two important

challenges 1) lack of general importance on CRMs 2) rising of environmental and social concerns due to

mining activities and generated waste

In line with the Strategic Implementation Plan of the EIP on Raw Materials the general awareness actions that

will be carried out in SCRREEN will aim to generate acceptance and open the path to building trust towards the

sector through improved communication and transparency using appropriate language This public support is

essential to justify the RampD activities and industrial projects that are needed to overcome this dependency in

Europe

The awareness campaign in SCRREEN constitutes a first step towards trust-building it sets the foundation for a

long-term dialogue with subsequent actions to be undertaken by the Expert Network on a continuous basis It

will consist of visual elements carrying key messages aiming to popularize this complex subject and to bring

the issue closer to peoplersquos lives by making it more understandable The campaign will be rolled out through

various channels and tools over a 12-month period with two approaches 1) Push communication mainstream

and specialized media will be targeted to promote the campaign the project and raising awareness on the CRM

issues and solutions two press releases will be issued and a PR agency will be contracted to push these into

appropriate press contacts Online sciencetechnical magazines and relevant blogs with a general audience will

be contacted and targeted to act as relays for our campaign and key messages 2) Pull communication and

dialogue building through Social media (Twitter LinkedIn Instagram) and using SCRREEN public website

This project has received funding from the European Unionrsquos Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 730227

SCRREEN D102 Dissemination amp Exploitation Plan Rev05 23

The figure below summarizes the steps to involve general public

Figure 4 Awareness campaign steps

MESSAGES TO BE CONVEYED

A set of key messages will be developed specifically to inform and educate the general public on critical raw

materials in order to build knowledge that will allow engaging in a dialogue These messages will focus on the

main issues at stake listed below

Raw materials essential elements in todayrsquos industrial production are crucial for the sustainable

functioning of our economy

A shortage of rare earth elements used in everything from electric car batteries to solar panels to

wind turbines will hamper the growth of renewable energy technologies

The increasing demand for raw materials has become a geopolitical issue as a great share of the

worldwide production of CRMs is concentrated in a few countries threatening to affect our

economies if these countries cut back on exports

Although Europersquos dependence on foreign imports of raw materials poses serious risks in terms of

supply price volatility and market distortions many potential business opportunities have risen in

recent years

Waste recycling can allow for a more sustainable use of valuable raw materials and may be one of the

solutions to the environmental impacts of mining and to Europersquos dependence on foreign resources

Europe must find substitutes and develop innovative clean and sustainable technologies for the

exploration extraction and processing of raw materials

The development of the specific messages above will be used to build the general awareness campaign

COMMUNICATION TOOLS AND ACTIVITIES

The reach the objectives listed above a set of tools and channels will be used as described below Please note

that some of them will be also used for dissemination purposes

Each of the partner organizations is responsible for advertising the project on their own website They will

therefore dedicate enough space to the project in their web pages so to properly communicate the project

vision objectives and activities In the same way each of them will be responsible for advertising the action on

SYNERGIES WITH ONGOING PROJECTS AND INITIATIVES

The main aim of SCRREEN is to gather European initiatives associations clusters and projects working on CRMs

into along lasting Expert Network on Critical Raw Materials developing a pro-active international co-operation

strategy of the EU at bilateral and multilateral level promoting synergies not only with EU ongoing projects and

initiatives but also with countries and regions such as the US Japan Australia Canada Latin America and the

African Union across the different areas covered by the EIP due to the composition of both the expert groups

and the consortium members

In particular Clustering activities foreseen in WP11 will facilitate the consensus on CRMs along the different

existing projects avoiding duplicating work and improving efficiency

Moreover SCRREEN will establish synergies with the JRC in the context of the ECrsquos Raw Materials Information

System (RMIS) as well as interfaces for key needs of the RMIS

IMPLEMENTATION OF THE EIP ON RAW MATERIALS

One of the main synergy SCRREEN will guarantee is the contribution to the EIP-RMrsquos Strategic Implementation

Plan (EIP-RM SIP) targets pursuing the following objectives

Substitutes for at least 3 applications of critical and scarce raw materials

Framework conditions for primary raw materials that would provide a stable and competitive supply

from EU sources and facilitate its public acceptance

Framework conditions for enhanced efficiency in material use and in waste prevention re-use and

recycling and resource efficient product design

EU raw materials knowledge base in particular with interfaces to the ECrsquos RMIS with information

flows and dynamic modelling systems for primary and secondary raw materials

Furthermore the project addresses directly the Priority Areas IA (Raw materials research and innovation

coordination) and action area ndeg I1 (Improving RampDampI coordination in the EU) and ndash among others ndash the

following crosscutting way

Table 9 Partner responsible for communication activities

The main aim of SCRREEN communication activities is the engaging with general public tackling two important

challenges 1) lack of general importance on CRMs 2) rising of environmental and social concerns due to

mining activities and generated waste

In line with the Strategic Implementation Plan of the EIP on Raw Materials the general awareness actions that

will be carried out in SCRREEN will aim to generate acceptance and open the path to building trust towards the

sector through improved communication and transparency using appropriate language This public support is

essential to justify the RampD activities and industrial projects that are needed to overcome this dependency in

Europe

The awareness campaign in SCRREEN constitutes a first step towards trust-building it sets the foundation for a

long-term dialogue with subsequent actions to be undertaken by the Expert Network on a continuous basis It

will consist of visual elements carrying key messages aiming to popularize this complex subject and to bring

the issue closer to peoplersquos lives by making it more understandable The campaign will be rolled out through

various channels and tools over a 12-month period with two approaches 1) Push communication mainstream

and specialized media will be targeted to promote the campaign the project and raising awareness on the CRM

issues and solutions two press releases will be issued and a PR agency will be contracted to push these into

appropriate press contacts Online sciencetechnical magazines and relevant blogs with a general audience will

be contacted and targeted to act as relays for our campaign and key messages 2) Pull communication and

dialogue building through Social media (Twitter LinkedIn Instagram) and using SCRREEN public website

This project has received funding from the European Unionrsquos Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 730227

SCRREEN D102 Dissemination amp Exploitation Plan Rev05 23

The figure below summarizes the steps to involve general public

Figure 4 Awareness campaign steps

MESSAGES TO BE CONVEYED

A set of key messages will be developed specifically to inform and educate the general public on critical raw

materials in order to build knowledge that will allow engaging in a dialogue These messages will focus on the

main issues at stake listed below

Raw materials essential elements in todayrsquos industrial production are crucial for the sustainable

functioning of our economy

A shortage of rare earth elements used in everything from electric car batteries to solar panels to

wind turbines will hamper the growth of renewable energy technologies

The increasing demand for raw materials has become a geopolitical issue as a great share of the

worldwide production of CRMs is concentrated in a few countries threatening to affect our

economies if these countries cut back on exports

Although Europersquos dependence on foreign imports of raw materials poses serious risks in terms of

supply price volatility and market distortions many potential business opportunities have risen in

recent years

Waste recycling can allow for a more sustainable use of valuable raw materials and may be one of the

solutions to the environmental impacts of mining and to Europersquos dependence on foreign resources

Europe must find substitutes and develop innovative clean and sustainable technologies for the

exploration extraction and processing of raw materials

The development of the specific messages above will be used to build the general awareness campaign

COMMUNICATION TOOLS AND ACTIVITIES

The reach the objectives listed above a set of tools and channels will be used as described below Please note

that some of them will be also used for dissemination purposes

Each of the partner organizations is responsible for advertising the project on their own website They will

therefore dedicate enough space to the project in their web pages so to properly communicate the project

The main aim of SCRREEN is to gather European initiatives associations clusters and projects working on CRMs

into along lasting Expert Network on Critical Raw Materials developing a pro-active international co-operation

strategy of the EU at bilateral and multilateral level promoting synergies not only with EU ongoing projects and

initiatives but also with countries and regions such as the US Japan Australia Canada Latin America and the

African Union across the different areas covered by the EIP due to the composition of both the expert groups

and the consortium members

In particular Clustering activities foreseen in WP11 will facilitate the consensus on CRMs along the different

existing projects avoiding duplicating work and improving efficiency

Moreover SCRREEN will establish synergies with the JRC in the context of the ECrsquos Raw Materials Information

System (RMIS) as well as interfaces for key needs of the RMIS

IMPLEMENTATION OF THE EIP ON RAW MATERIALS

One of the main synergy SCRREEN will guarantee is the contribution to the EIP-RMrsquos Strategic Implementation

Plan (EIP-RM SIP) targets pursuing the following objectives

Substitutes for at least 3 applications of critical and scarce raw materials

Framework conditions for primary raw materials that would provide a stable and competitive supply

from EU sources and facilitate its public acceptance

Framework conditions for enhanced efficiency in material use and in waste prevention re-use and

recycling and resource efficient product design

EU raw materials knowledge base in particular with interfaces to the ECrsquos RMIS with information

flows and dynamic modelling systems for primary and secondary raw materials

Furthermore the project addresses directly the Priority Areas IA (Raw materials research and innovation

coordination) and action area ndeg I1 (Improving RampDampI coordination in the EU) and ndash among others ndash the

following crosscutting way

Table 9 Partner responsible for communication activities

The main aim of SCRREEN communication activities is the engaging with general public tackling two important

challenges 1) lack of general importance on CRMs 2) rising of environmental and social concerns due to

mining activities and generated waste

In line with the Strategic Implementation Plan of the EIP on Raw Materials the general awareness actions that

will be carried out in SCRREEN will aim to generate acceptance and open the path to building trust towards the

sector through improved communication and transparency using appropriate language This public support is

essential to justify the RampD activities and industrial projects that are needed to overcome this dependency in

Europe

The awareness campaign in SCRREEN constitutes a first step towards trust-building it sets the foundation for a

long-term dialogue with subsequent actions to be undertaken by the Expert Network on a continuous basis It

will consist of visual elements carrying key messages aiming to popularize this complex subject and to bring

the issue closer to peoplersquos lives by making it more understandable The campaign will be rolled out through

various channels and tools over a 12-month period with two approaches 1) Push communication mainstream

and specialized media will be targeted to promote the campaign the project and raising awareness on the CRM

issues and solutions two press releases will be issued and a PR agency will be contracted to push these into

appropriate press contacts Online sciencetechnical magazines and relevant blogs with a general audience will

be contacted and targeted to act as relays for our campaign and key messages 2) Pull communication and

dialogue building through Social media (Twitter LinkedIn Instagram) and using SCRREEN public website

This project has received funding from the European Unionrsquos Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 730227

SCRREEN D102 Dissemination amp Exploitation Plan Rev05 23

The figure below summarizes the steps to involve general public

Figure 4 Awareness campaign steps

MESSAGES TO BE CONVEYED

A set of key messages will be developed specifically to inform and educate the general public on critical raw

materials in order to build knowledge that will allow engaging in a dialogue These messages will focus on the

main issues at stake listed below

Raw materials essential elements in todayrsquos industrial production are crucial for the sustainable

functioning of our economy

A shortage of rare earth elements used in everything from electric car batteries to solar panels to

wind turbines will hamper the growth of renewable energy technologies

The increasing demand for raw materials has become a geopolitical issue as a great share of the

worldwide production of CRMs is concentrated in a few countries threatening to affect our

economies if these countries cut back on exports

Although Europersquos dependence on foreign imports of raw materials poses serious risks in terms of

supply price volatility and market distortions many potential business opportunities have risen in

recent years

Waste recycling can allow for a more sustainable use of valuable raw materials and may be one of the

solutions to the environmental impacts of mining and to Europersquos dependence on foreign resources

Europe must find substitutes and develop innovative clean and sustainable technologies for the

exploration extraction and processing of raw materials

The development of the specific messages above will be used to build the general awareness campaign

COMMUNICATION TOOLS AND ACTIVITIES

The reach the objectives listed above a set of tools and channels will be used as described below Please note

that some of them will be also used for dissemination purposes

Table 9 Partner responsible for communication activities

The main aim of SCRREEN communication activities is the engaging with general public tackling two important

challenges 1) lack of general importance on CRMs 2) rising of environmental and social concerns due to

mining activities and generated waste

In line with the Strategic Implementation Plan of the EIP on Raw Materials the general awareness actions that

will be carried out in SCRREEN will aim to generate acceptance and open the path to building trust towards the

sector through improved communication and transparency using appropriate language This public support is

essential to justify the RampD activities and industrial projects that are needed to overcome this dependency in

Europe

The awareness campaign in SCRREEN constitutes a first step towards trust-building it sets the foundation for a

long-term dialogue with subsequent actions to be undertaken by the Expert Network on a continuous basis It

will consist of visual elements carrying key messages aiming to popularize this complex subject and to bring

the issue closer to peoplersquos lives by making it more understandable The campaign will be rolled out through

various channels and tools over a 12-month period with two approaches 1) Push communication mainstream

and specialized media will be targeted to promote the campaign the project and raising awareness on the CRM

issues and solutions two press releases will be issued and a PR agency will be contracted to push these into

appropriate press contacts Online sciencetechnical magazines and relevant blogs with a general audience will

be contacted and targeted to act as relays for our campaign and key messages 2) Pull communication and

dialogue building through Social media (Twitter LinkedIn Instagram) and using SCRREEN public website

This project has received funding from the European Unionrsquos Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 730227

SCRREEN D102 Dissemination amp Exploitation Plan Rev05 23

The figure below summarizes the steps to involve general public

Figure 4 Awareness campaign steps

MESSAGES TO BE CONVEYED

A set of key messages will be developed specifically to inform and educate the general public on critical raw

materials in order to build knowledge that will allow engaging in a dialogue These messages will focus on the

main issues at stake listed below

Raw materials essential elements in todayrsquos industrial production are crucial for the sustainable

functioning of our economy

A shortage of rare earth elements used in everything from electric car batteries to solar panels to

wind turbines will hamper the growth of renewable energy technologies

The increasing demand for raw materials has become a geopolitical issue as a great share of the

worldwide production of CRMs is concentrated in a few countries threatening to affect our

economies if these countries cut back on exports

Although Europersquos dependence on foreign imports of raw materials poses serious risks in terms of

supply price volatility and market distortions many potential business opportunities have risen in

recent years

Waste recycling can allow for a more sustainable use of valuable raw materials and may be one of the

solutions to the environmental impacts of mining and to Europersquos dependence on foreign resources

Europe must find substitutes and develop innovative clean and sustainable technologies for the

exploration extraction and processing of raw materials

The development of the specific messages above will be used to build the general awareness campaign

COMMUNICATION TOOLS AND ACTIVITIES

The reach the objectives listed above a set of tools and channels will be used as described below Please note

that some of them will be also used for dissemination purposes

Table 9 Partner responsible for communication activities

The main aim of SCRREEN communication activities is the engaging with general public tackling two important

challenges 1) lack of general importance on CRMs 2) rising of environmental and social concerns due to

mining activities and generated waste

In line with the Strategic Implementation Plan of the EIP on Raw Materials the general awareness actions that

will be carried out in SCRREEN will aim to generate acceptance and open the path to building trust towards the

sector through improved communication and transparency using appropriate language This public support is

essential to justify the RampD activities and industrial projects that are needed to overcome this dependency in

Europe

The awareness campaign in SCRREEN constitutes a first step towards trust-building it sets the foundation for a

long-term dialogue with subsequent actions to be undertaken by the Expert Network on a continuous basis It

will consist of visual elements carrying key messages aiming to popularize this complex subject and to bring

the issue closer to peoplersquos lives by making it more understandable The campaign will be rolled out through

various channels and tools over a 12-month period with two approaches 1) Push communication mainstream

and specialized media will be targeted to promote the campaign the project and raising awareness on the CRM

issues and solutions two press releases will be issued and a PR agency will be contracted to push these into

appropriate press contacts Online sciencetechnical magazines and relevant blogs with a general audience will

be contacted and targeted to act as relays for our campaign and key messages 2) Pull communication and

dialogue building through Social media (Twitter LinkedIn Instagram) and using SCRREEN public website

This project has received funding from the European Unionrsquos Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 730227

SCRREEN D102 Dissemination amp Exploitation Plan Rev05 23

The figure below summarizes the steps to involve general public

Figure 4 Awareness campaign steps

MESSAGES TO BE CONVEYED

A set of key messages will be developed specifically to inform and educate the general public on critical raw

materials in order to build knowledge that will allow engaging in a dialogue These messages will focus on the

main issues at stake listed below

Raw materials essential elements in todayrsquos industrial production are crucial for the sustainable

functioning of our economy

A shortage of rare earth elements used in everything from electric car batteries to solar panels to

wind turbines will hamper the growth of renewable energy technologies

The increasing demand for raw materials has become a geopolitical issue as a great share of the

worldwide production of CRMs is concentrated in a few countries threatening to affect our

economies if these countries cut back on exports

Although Europersquos dependence on foreign imports of raw materials poses serious risks in terms of

supply price volatility and market distortions many potential business opportunities have risen in

recent years

Waste recycling can allow for a more sustainable use of valuable raw materials and may be one of the

solutions to the environmental impacts of mining and to Europersquos dependence on foreign resources

Europe must find substitutes and develop innovative clean and sustainable technologies for the

exploration extraction and processing of raw materials

The development of the specific messages above will be used to build the general awareness campaign

COMMUNICATION TOOLS AND ACTIVITIES

The reach the objectives listed above a set of tools and channels will be used as described below Please note

that some of them will be also used for dissemination purposes

Table 9 Partner responsible for communication activities

The main aim of SCRREEN communication activities is the engaging with general public tackling two important

challenges 1) lack of general importance on CRMs 2) rising of environmental and social concerns due to

mining activities and generated waste

In line with the Strategic Implementation Plan of the EIP on Raw Materials the general awareness actions that

will be carried out in SCRREEN will aim to generate acceptance and open the path to building trust towards the

sector through improved communication and transparency using appropriate language This public support is

essential to justify the RampD activities and industrial projects that are needed to overcome this dependency in

Europe

The awareness campaign in SCRREEN constitutes a first step towards trust-building it sets the foundation for a

long-term dialogue with subsequent actions to be undertaken by the Expert Network on a continuous basis It

will consist of visual elements carrying key messages aiming to popularize this complex subject and to bring

the issue closer to peoplersquos lives by making it more understandable The campaign will be rolled out through

various channels and tools over a 12-month period with two approaches 1) Push communication mainstream

and specialized media will be targeted to promote the campaign the project and raising awareness on the CRM

issues and solutions two press releases will be issued and a PR agency will be contracted to push these into

appropriate press contacts Online sciencetechnical magazines and relevant blogs with a general audience will

be contacted and targeted to act as relays for our campaign and key messages 2) Pull communication and

dialogue building through Social media (Twitter LinkedIn Instagram) and using SCRREEN public website

This project has received funding from the European Unionrsquos Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 730227

SCRREEN D102 Dissemination amp Exploitation Plan Rev05 23

The figure below summarizes the steps to involve general public

Figure 4 Awareness campaign steps

MESSAGES TO BE CONVEYED

A set of key messages will be developed specifically to inform and educate the general public on critical raw

materials in order to build knowledge that will allow engaging in a dialogue These messages will focus on the

main issues at stake listed below

Raw materials essential elements in todayrsquos industrial production are crucial for the sustainable

functioning of our economy

A shortage of rare earth elements used in everything from electric car batteries to solar panels to

wind turbines will hamper the growth of renewable energy technologies

The increasing demand for raw materials has become a geopolitical issue as a great share of the

worldwide production of CRMs is concentrated in a few countries threatening to affect our

economies if these countries cut back on exports

Although Europersquos dependence on foreign imports of raw materials poses serious risks in terms of

supply price volatility and market distortions many potential business opportunities have risen in

recent years

Waste recycling can allow for a more sustainable use of valuable raw materials and may be one of the

solutions to the environmental impacts of mining and to Europersquos dependence on foreign resources

Europe must find substitutes and develop innovative clean and sustainable technologies for the

exploration extraction and processing of raw materials

The development of the specific messages above will be used to build the general awareness campaign

COMMUNICATION TOOLS AND ACTIVITIES

The reach the objectives listed above a set of tools and channels will be used as described below Please note

that some of them will be also used for dissemination purposes

Table 9 Partner responsible for communication activities

The main aim of SCRREEN communication activities is the engaging with general public tackling two important

challenges 1) lack of general importance on CRMs 2) rising of environmental and social concerns due to

mining activities and generated waste

In line with the Strategic Implementation Plan of the EIP on Raw Materials the general awareness actions that

will be carried out in SCRREEN will aim to generate acceptance and open the path to building trust towards the

sector through improved communication and transparency using appropriate language This public support is

essential to justify the RampD activities and industrial projects that are needed to overcome this dependency in

Europe

The awareness campaign in SCRREEN constitutes a first step towards trust-building it sets the foundation for a

long-term dialogue with subsequent actions to be undertaken by the Expert Network on a continuous basis It

will consist of visual elements carrying key messages aiming to popularize this complex subject and to bring

the issue closer to peoplersquos lives by making it more understandable The campaign will be rolled out through

various channels and tools over a 12-month period with two approaches 1) Push communication mainstream

and specialized media will be targeted to promote the campaign the project and raising awareness on the CRM

issues and solutions two press releases will be issued and a PR agency will be contracted to push these into

appropriate press contacts Online sciencetechnical magazines and relevant blogs with a general audience will

be contacted and targeted to act as relays for our campaign and key messages 2) Pull communication and

dialogue building through Social media (Twitter LinkedIn Instagram) and using SCRREEN public website

The figure below summarizes the steps to involve general public

Figure 4 Awareness campaign steps

MESSAGES TO BE CONVEYED

A set of key messages will be developed specifically to inform and educate the general public on critical raw

materials in order to build knowledge that will allow engaging in a dialogue These messages will focus on the

main issues at stake listed below

Raw materials essential elements in todayrsquos industrial production are crucial for the sustainable

functioning of our economy

A shortage of rare earth elements used in everything from electric car batteries to solar panels to

wind turbines will hamper the growth of renewable energy technologies

The increasing demand for raw materials has become a geopolitical issue as a great share of the

worldwide production of CRMs is concentrated in a few countries threatening to affect our

economies if these countries cut back on exports

Although Europersquos dependence on foreign imports of raw materials poses serious risks in terms of

supply price volatility and market distortions many potential business opportunities have risen in

recent years

Waste recycling can allow for a more sustainable use of valuable raw materials and may be one of the

solutions to the environmental impacts of mining and to Europersquos dependence on foreign resources

Europe must find substitutes and develop innovative clean and sustainable technologies for the

exploration extraction and processing of raw materials

The development of the specific messages above will be used to build the general awareness campaign

COMMUNICATION TOOLS AND ACTIVITIES

The reach the objectives listed above a set of tools and channels will be used as described below Please note

that some of them will be also used for dissemination purposes

Role in Project The main contribution of the CML is in work package 2 on the current and future use of CRMs

with a leading role in Task 21 complemented with involvement in WP7 on policy issues

Exploitation intention The CML would like to combine the knowledge created through involvement of other

projects like DESIRE MICA and the EIT Raw Materials into the SCRREEN deliverables by generating insights that

are useful from a policy perspective as well as from a scientific perspective We feel that the topic of Critical

Raw Materials calls for a comprehensive review and extension of data and knowledge available at the

European level which we think could be achieved through active participation in the SCRREEN expert network

If this effort would lead to the development of a database on the use of CRMs CML would be committed to co-

development and application Our exploitation intention is to actively disseminate and contribute to the

knowledge generated during the project

Figure 4 Awareness campaign steps

MESSAGES TO BE CONVEYED

A set of key messages will be developed specifically to inform and educate the general public on critical raw

materials in order to build knowledge that will allow engaging in a dialogue These messages will focus on the

main issues at stake listed below

Raw materials essential elements in todayrsquos industrial production are crucial for the sustainable

functioning of our economy

A shortage of rare earth elements used in everything from electric car batteries to solar panels to

wind turbines will hamper the growth of renewable energy technologies

The increasing demand for raw materials has become a geopolitical issue as a great share of the

worldwide production of CRMs is concentrated in a few countries threatening to affect our

economies if these countries cut back on exports

Although Europersquos dependence on foreign imports of raw materials poses serious risks in terms of

supply price volatility and market distortions many potential business opportunities have risen in

recent years

Waste recycling can allow for a more sustainable use of valuable raw materials and may be one of the

solutions to the environmental impacts of mining and to Europersquos dependence on foreign resources

Europe must find substitutes and develop innovative clean and sustainable technologies for the

exploration extraction and processing of raw materials

The development of the specific messages above will be used to build the general awareness campaign

COMMUNICATION TOOLS AND ACTIVITIES

The reach the objectives listed above a set of tools and channels will be used as described below Please note

standards and sharing its knowhow with the Member States the scientific community and

international partners This project will be carried out within JRC Directorate for Sustainable Resources

in the Land resources unit The Unit provides in-house scientific support to various raw materials

policies Activities including the development of the Raw Materials Information System (RMIS) The

unit has an active research program on CRMs and had recently supported the revision of the EC

methodology for the identification of CRMs as well as interacting in the development of the new list

of CRMs The Unit is also supporting the development of the EC Raw Materialrsquos Scoreboard

Role in Project The main activities of JRC in the project include contributions to WP1 in network creation

and management WP2 WP9 to identify knowledge to be feed-in into RMIS providing a bridge between

RMIS and the project outcomes

Exploitation intention The RMIS is foreseen to provide a bridge between policy support needs and

knowledge provision on raw materials In this sense JRC will maintain the knowledge gadder within the

project in the RMIS platform even after the project is finished

EXPLOITATION AT CONSORTIUM LEVEL

As already stated the exploitation plan is the strategy and process that allow the capitalisation of the tangible

and intangible results of the SCRREEN project optimise their value enhance their impact and facilitate their

integration at multiple levels

To secure the sustainability of the Network which is the principal output of the project the consortium has

agreed to invest significant efforts to promote it across Europe creating synergies with other associations All

the knowledge will be preserved by the Expert Network (through its key member structures) as it will be

defined in the business plan that will allow the Network to exist and contribute to the EIP-RM objectives after

the end of the project
