Final Project Event: The REEPRODUCE Solution at the EIT RawMaterials Expert Forum for Rare Earth and Magnet SIGN

We welcome you to join the final exploitation event of the REEPRODUCE project on 3 November at 16:20-17:20 CET, presenting the results from the REEPRODUCE project, seven pilots in a complete closed-loop rare earth permanent magnet recycling at pilot scale.
This event is hybrid, welcoming two ways to participate:

  • In person in Turin for those attending the EIT RawMaterials Expert Forum on Rare Earth and Magnets SIGN, where participants will have the opportunity to also network with project partners and other stakeholders.
  • Online, where participants can follow the 1-hour session with presentations and discussions remotely.

Are you not able to attend the event physically? Register via the MS forms to watch the livestream.
