Organized by: Regional Innovation Center of EIT RawMaterials, Albania
Conference: NanoBalkan2025
Date: Friday, 03 October 2025
Location: Tirana International Hotel & Online (Hybrid)
Time: 09:00 – 13:00
Purpose of the Workshop
The (Nano/Micro) Materials Workshop is designed as a dynamic roundtable discussion that brings together stakeholders from geological surveys, mining companies, research institutions, and innovation networks to explore how nanotechnology and functional micro-materials can accelerate progress in the row material especially in the critical raw materials (CRM) sector. With a focus on exploration, processing, and recycling, the workshop aims to link applied science with operational realities in the Western Balkans. Key discussion areas include functional nanomaterials in mineral sensing and extraction, and circular recovery of CRMs from waste. The workshop also explores synergies between regional strategies and EU innovation instruments such as Horizon Europe, EIT RawMaterials boosting the role of start-ups and universities for spanning off the nano/micro raw materials in CE.
