Motivation In 2010 the European Commission has identified a list of 14 economically important raw materials which are subject to a higher risk of supply interruption. There are a number of reasons for this heightened supply risk. One of them is the high concentration of the production of a raw material in a given non-EU country. Other reasons are the low political-economic stability of the main supplier(s), as well as the low substitutability and low recycling rates of the raw material itself. The European Commission and several member states have monitored the issue of critical raw materials and set different priority actions. But how did industry leaders respond to this threat? What are major sectors and players in the electric and electronic industry already doing to substitute and/or recover those critical materials? What are the trends in research and innovation? How can we collect more End-of-Life products? Are these raw materials still critical? Or has there been a fundamental change that led to declining prices recently? Has the pressure on industry gone already? Will it come back? What will the future bring in this area? These are some of the questions that will be discussed during the workshop!

ZeroWIN – Towards Zero Waste in Industrial Networks Imagine a waste-free future! Moving from the traditional industrial model, where waste is considered the norm, the 30 ZeroWIN partners from 11 countries developed integrated industrial symbiotic systems in which everything has a use. By exchanging industrial byproducts, energy, water and materials between sectors, waste from one industry can become raw material for another. Businesses are encouraged to emulate the sustainable cycles of nature, minimising the burden imposed on the earth and using its resources more efficiently. Developing new technologies for resource-use optimisation and adapting the industrial network approach to support waste/emission prevention, ZeroWIN has set itself the goal to ·

decrease at least 30 percent in greenhouse gas emissions,

·

re-use and recycle at least 70 percent of waste and

·

reduce fresh water consumption by at least 75 percent.

Bend the trend! At the core of the ZeroWIN project have been 10 industrial case studies in automotive, construction, electronics and photovoltaic sectors, accumulating knowledge that will be exportable into European and worldwide contexts.

Location Hungary is one of the oldest European countries, situated in the middle of the continent in Central Europe. The country is divided in two by its main waterway, the Danube. Hungary is situated in the Carpathian Basin and is bordered by Slovakia to the north, Ukraine and Romania to the east, Serbia and Croatia to the south, Slovenia to the southwest and Austria to the west. Hungary is one of the thirty most popular tourist destinations in the world. The country is home to the largest thermal water cave system and the second largest thermal lake in the world (Lake Hévíz), the largest lake in Central Europe (Lake Balaton), and the largest natural grasslands in Europe (Hortobágy). Slightly more than one half of Hungary's landscape consists of flat to rolling plains of the Pannonian Basin in the southern and eastern part of the country. The western part, Transdanubia, is a primarily hilly region with a terrain varied by low mountains. These include the very eastern stretch of the Alps near the Austrian border, the Transdanubian Mountains, in the central region of Transdanubia, and the Mecsek Mountains and Villány Mountains in the south. The highest mountains of the country are located in the Carpathians along the Slovakian border. Budapest - the capital of Hungary - is the largest city in East-Central Europe and the seventh largest in the European Union. Cited as one of the most beautiful cities in Europe, its extensive World Heritage Site includes the banks of the Danube, the Buda Castle Quarter, Andrássy Avenue, Heroes' Square and the Millennium Underground Railway, the fourth oldest in the world. Other highlights are a total of 80 geothermal springs, the world's largest thermal water cave system, the second largest synagogue and the third largest Parliament building.

The Venue: art’otel Budapest art’otel Budapest is located in the heart of the city on the western side of the Danube. The 4-star hotel offers not only an exceptional positioning with a riverfront view to the opposite parliament building, but also a unique opportunity to experience the fusion of travel, design and art in the city's historic center with the convenience of a free WIFI high speed wireless internet access.
