Kritische Rohstoffe nachhaltig und gerecht sichern
Clean technologies such as wind turbines, solar cells or storage systems require nickel, lithium, copper, manganese or rare earth elements. The demand for minerals and metals will increase exponentially in the coming years. But what actually makes these raw materials critical? Is their extraction a blessing or a curse for resource-rich countries? What social, ecological and developmental issues does this raise?

Why is China increasingly seen as a problem for secure raw material supply chains? And what strategies should the European Union develop to ensure a sustainable and fair supply of critical raw materials? These are the questions we want to explore in the Open Lab Evening. You will take a closer look at selected raw materials, assess political, social and ecological risks and develop solutions. The aim is to develop ideas for fair raw material partnerships between the EU and resource-rich countries.
What is an Open Lab evening?
Every Thursday, the Lab gets creative. You will learn about methods such as design thinking or future storytelling, try out 3D printers and laser cutters, and take a look behind the scenes of the Lab projects. There's something new every week.
