The project will create a digital platform with a georeferenced database to identify, evaluate, and map mining deposits that may contain valuable CRMs, especially from closed coal mining facilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The initiative will pilot geochemical and metallurgical analyses at selected sites to assess the feasibility of recovering these materials from mining waste. Advanced AI tools will automate data processing and reporting, supporting new business models and sustainable extraction opportunities across Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The consortium, led by GIG-PIB (Central Mining Institute \u2013 National Research Institute of Poland), includes partners from Asturias such as the University of Oviedo, SATEC, Fundaci\u00f3n CTIC, and Grupo DEX, as well as EUROCOAL and research centres from Spain, Romania, and Germany.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/crmsdataspaceproject.uniovi.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Partners-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-274\" style=\"width:594px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/crmsdataspaceproject.uniovi.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Partners-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/crmsdataspaceproject.uniovi.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Partners-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/crmsdataspaceproject.uniovi.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Partners-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/crmsdataspaceproject.uniovi.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Partners-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/crmsdataspaceproject.uniovi.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Partners-2048x1152.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"117\" src=\"https:\/\/crmsdataspaceproject.uniovi.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Banner-UE-1024x117.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-218\" srcset=\"https:\/\/crmsdataspaceproject.uniovi.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Banner-UE-1024x117.png 1024w, https:\/\/crmsdataspaceproject.uniovi.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Banner-UE-300x34.png 300w, https:\/\/crmsdataspaceproject.uniovi.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Banner-UE-768x88.png 768w, https:\/\/crmsdataspaceproject.uniovi.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Banner-UE-1536x176.png 1536w, https:\/\/crmsdataspaceproject.uniovi.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Banner-UE-2048x235.png 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The EU RFCS funded project CRMs DataSpace \u201cCommon European Data Space on Critical Raw Materials for the Green Deal: Recovery Potential from Closed Extractive Coal Waste Facilities\u201d was officially launched on September 29, 2025, at the offices of the Official<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":350,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-207","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/crmsdataspaceproject.uniovi.es\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/207","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/crmsdataspaceproject.uniovi.es\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/crmsdataspaceproject.uniovi.es\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/crmsdataspaceproject.uniovi.es\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/crmsdataspaceproject.uniovi.es\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=207"}],"version-history":[{"count":11,"href":"https:\/\/crmsdataspaceproject.uniovi.es\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/207\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":368,"href":"https:\/\/crmsdataspaceproject.uniovi.es\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/207\/revisions\/368"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/crmsdataspaceproject.uniovi.es\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/350"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/crmsdataspaceproject.uniovi.es\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=207"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/crmsdataspaceproject.uniovi.es\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=207"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/crmsdataspaceproject.uniovi.es\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=207"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
