Raw Talks - EUMICON Podcast

Raw Talks is EUMICON’s podcast series exploring one of Europe’s most critical challenges: securing the raw materials that power our economies, technologies, and everyday lives.

Hosted by EUMICON Director General Roman Stiftner, the series brings listeners to the forefront of discussions shaping the future of raw materials and metals in Europe and beyond.

Across each season, Raw Talks dives into the full raw materials value chain from understanding what these materials are and why they matter, to tackling complex issues like supply dependency, sustainability, and Europe’s strategic autonomy.

Through expert interviews, real-world examples, and diverse perspectives from industry leaders, policymakers, scientists, and innovators, the podcast makes complex topics accessible without losing depth.

The series also explores the global aspects of raw materials, highlighting their growing role in geopolitics, the importance of responsible mining in Europe, and the shift toward a circular economy. Looking ahead, Raw Talks examines how today’s decisions will shape Europe’s resource strategy for decades to come.

More than just a podcast, Raw Talks is a platform for dialogue - connecting business, science, and policy to spark ideas, challenge assumptions, and drive sustainable solutions.
