In light of the COVID-19 pandemic and the sanitary rules imposed by the Belgian government, the European Commission has decided to cancel the fifth edition of the EU Raw Materials Week 2020 in its physical format, which was planned from 16 to 20 November 2020 in Brussels.

However, the European Commission will maintain a limited number of meetings on raw materials around the time originally foreseen for the Raw Materials Week. Stakeholders willing to organise events in this period can provide details by writing to grow-raw-materials-week@ec.europa.eu. Those events will be advertised on the Raw Materials Week website.
