The European Sustainable Mining & Innovation Network

At the start of 2025, MOSMIN joined the European Sustainable Mining & Innovation Network (ESMIN) - a collaboration of several EU funded projects dedicated to advancing sustainable and responsible mining practices across Europe. The network meets regularly to discuss collaboration opportunities such as workshops, events, policy briefing, scientific publications, and more. By fostering partnership among diverse stakeholders, ESMIN ensures a comprehensive approach to tackling challenges in the mining industry.

 

 

The value of ESMIN

 

Fostering Collaboration

ESMIN fosters collaboration between researchers, industry stakeholders innovators and policymakers. This avoids duplication of efforts and enables shared learning.

 

Accelerating Innovation

By connecting projects focused on different aspects of the mining value chain—from resource exploration to environmental monitoring—ESMIN promotes faster development and deployment of cutting-edge technologies and best practices.

 

Influencing Policy

A coordinated network has a stronger voice when engaging with policymakers, enabling more effective advocacy for sustainable and responsible mining practices.

 

Increasing Visibility & Impact

ESMIN amplifies the outreach of individual projects by providing a unified platform for dissemination, increasing visibility among key stakeholders.

 

Aligning with Sustainability Goals

ESMIN ultimately helps Europe progress toward its strategic autonomy in raw materials while aligning with Green Deal and circular economy objectives.
