On 16 November 2020, Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) gathered in a virtual Coffee with Geoscience event to exchange with a panel of geoscience experts on the importance of mineral raw materials for the achievement of the EU’s Green Deal goals. The event was hosted by the Portuguese MEPs Carlos Zorrinho (S&D Group) and Maria da Graça Carvalho (EPP Group), both Members of the Committee on Industry, Research and Energy. The dialogue focused on the social, economic and political aspects that must be addressed to ensure reliable, secure and sustainable access to mineral raw materials for Europe’s industry.
