Project

The CRITERIA project belongs to the Horizon Europe Marie Sklodowska Curie Actions Doctoral Networks.

The characterization of tailing dams and waste dumps for the treatment and recovery of critical raw materials (CRM) is an actual priority for the EU States. The CRITERIA project focuses on the remediation of old mining sites, soil reuse to develop  mining activities, development of a sustainable mineral processing for material recovery
