BrineRIS Project at the 4th CloudEARTHi Conference 2025

On June 9-11, 2025, the BrineRIS team participated in the 4th edition of the CloudEARTHi international conference in Wroclaw, Poland, which was held in a hybrid format.

The conference aims to broaden the discussion on the importance of deep technologies in building a better society and supporting sustainable development, as envisioned by the European Innovation Agenda. It also emphasizes the key role of higher education in promoting sustainable entrepreneurship and innovation.

This is an important venue for knowledge sharing, good practices and international cooperation - thank you to the organizers from the CloudEARTHi consortium for the invitation and inspiring talks !

BrineRIS Project at “Sustainable Lithium for Europe 2025” seminar in Brussels

A seminar entitled “Sustainable Lithium for Europe 2025” organized by the European Lithium Institute (eLi) was held in Brussels on May 15, 2025, bringing together more than 70 key representatives from industry, academia and public administration involved in the development of the European lithium value chain.

The presentation of the results of the BrineRIS project, focusing on identifying the potential of geothermal brines as a source of lithium in selected RIS (Regional Innovation Scheme) countries in Southern and Eastern Europe, was particularly interesting for the participants.

Dr. Magdalena Worsa-Kozak, project manager, presented key results of the consortium’s work such as the results of chemical analyses in partner countries and an interactive platform depicting the distribution of lithium concentrations in Europe, and emphasized the importance of the project for building a sustainable and resilient lithium supply chain in lower-tech regions.

🌍 The range of topics included:
- supply chain security and EU strategy,
- innovations in lithium recycling,
- practical workshops on eLi initiatives for 2025-2026.
