Muon Solutions: Pioneers of muography in Finland and key technical partner in REMHub’s rare earth mission
One key technical partner driving REMHub’s innovation is Muon Solutions Oy, a Finnish deep-tech company specialising in muon imaging and geoscience technologies. Muon imaging is a cutting-edge technique that uses naturally occurring cosmic-ray muons — subatomic particles that constantly shower the Earth — to look inside solid materials, essentially “X-raying” the underground without excess drilling.

Joining forces to shape a Rare Earth Innovation Hub: REMHub Strategy and Networking Workshop
Europe’s rare earth element (REE) and permanent magnet industries sit in a strategically important yet fragile position. Domestic production is limited, dependence on Chinese imports is near total, and prevailing prices make local manufacture difficult to sustain. The question is no longer whether supply interruptions will occur, but how Europe will respond when they do. […]
Join us at Raw Materials Week 2025!
Securing a reliable and sustainable supply of critical raw materials (CRMs) is essential for Europe’s green and digital transition — yet projects across the value chain still face common bottlenecks that prevent solutions from reaching full scale. To address these challenges, the REMHUb project, together with nine Horizon Europe projects in the raw materials field, […]
REMHub M12 Consortium Meeting
The REMHub M12 Consortium Meeting was held at Politecnico di Milano’s Bovisa and Leonardo campuses from October 1st to 3rd. It brought together leading minds, experts and stakeholders in rare earths, recycling, and sustainable technology. Over three days, participants engaged in a series of workshops, technical sessions, and networking events designed to accelerate progress across […]
Shaping the Future of Rare Earths and Permanent Magnets in Europe: Highlights from the 2025 RMIS Workshop
On September 23rd and 24th, 2025, the Raw Materials Information System (RMIS) workshop was held at the European Health and Digital Executive Agency (HaDEA) in Brussels. The event was co-organised with the Joint Research Centre (JRC). The theme of the 2025 workshop was: “Leveraging raw materials to strengthen EU competitiveness: from research to innovation – […]
The first REMHub newsletter published
The REMHub project has released its first newsletter, providing updates on progress and collaboration across the European raw materials landscape. The issue highlights the project’s launch phase and early achievements, following eight active months since its start in October 2024. The newsletter also features the project’s growing collaborations with EU-level initiatives and events such as […]
Track and trace metal supply with geotraceability
Metals are essential elements of our daily life. Think of electric vehicles (EVs) for a second. You probably know that an EV is quite different from a conventional combustion car in terms of material use. Studies have shown that EVs use much more and wider range of metals compared to gas-powered cars because of their […]
Rethinking Rare Earth Recycling through Extrusion 3D Printing
Extrusion-based 3D printing is no longer just a rapid prototyping tool. Today, it is evolving into a viable method for producing end-use industrial parts—driven by community innovation, improved hardware/software ecosystems, and advanced materials. This progress is opening new doors for circular manufacturing—particularly in Europe’s efforts to secure access to critical raw materials. REMHub: Advancing REE […]
REMHub contributes to the development of processes to valorize the Eurallumina red muds
The project REMHub, funded under the Horizon EU call HORIZON-CL4-2024-RESILIENCE-01-08, aims to create a cutting-edge innovation hub propelling EU excellence in the supply of Rare Earth Elements (REEs) and the manufacture of permanent magnets. The extraction of valuable elements from industrial side streams is a key activity, along with the prospection for primary sources. Within […]
REMHub Engages high school students in circular economy and critical raw materials awareness
On January 15–16, 2025, Professor Cinzia Cristiani from the Polytechnic of Milan and Dr. Sergio Molina Ramirez (Polytechnic of Milan & University of Genoa) met with approximately 50 students from “G. Galilei” High School in Voghera, Italy. This event was organized at the invitation of three teachers, Alessandra Casati, Paola Guado and Dimma Molinari, to raise awareness about the circular […]
