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

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

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

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

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
SCRREEN D102 Dissemination amp Exploitation Plan Rev05 24
a notice board which will be strategically placed in their buildings so to ensure the visibility of the project by
the widest audience possible
LOGO AND GRAPHIC IDENTITY
LGI as responsible of Subtask 1022 Project Corporate Images has developed a visual identity for SCRREEN
project to support the partners to communicate more effectively with the target groups and general public

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

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

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)

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

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

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

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
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 -

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

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

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

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

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

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

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
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

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

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

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
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

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)

EXPLOITATION PLAN
This paragraph describes the way each partner individually and SCRREEN consortium as a whole intend to turn
their involvement in the project and project outcomes ldquoprofitablerdquo in order to launch new activities after the
end of the project
According to Art28 Exploitation of Results of SCRREEN GA each beneficiary must take measures to ensure the
exploitation of its results up to four years after the end of the project Thus in the following paragraphs the
initial exploitation strategy has been defined at individual partner level and at the project consortium scale
The main objective of the exploitation strategy is to turn project outcomes into benefits favouring the future
development of SCRREEN Expert Network and helping project partners to launch new activities and business
Depending on the partner these benefits can be both financial andor non-monetary (eg increased EU Raw
Materials knowledge better use of standards being recognised as an innovative company etc)

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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
