ICCRAM (International Research Center in Critical Raw Materials for Advanced Industrial Technologies). University of Burgos (SPAIN). Director: PhD. Santiago Cuesta e-mail: scuesta@ubu.es / director.iccram@ubu.es ICCRAM:

•  An International Excellence Research Center in Critical Raw Materials for Industrial technologies with experts in CRMs substitution and advanced materials and technologies. MORE THAN 26 RESEARCH GROUPS, constituting an innovation core being part of several industrial clusters and with a board of 15 industries.

• Directly related to the European Innovation Partnership in Raw Materials and the KIC-RAW; part of two different Action Groups/Commitments within the EIP-Raw. •  Coordinating with ADE the critical raw materials strategy and with a key role in the RIS3 regional strategy in Castilla y León (Spain). •  Core member of the Regional and National industrial strategy, founder member of industrial clusters like CYLSOLAR and CBECyL, with an existing strong alliance with large scale industrial associations like SERCOBE (National Association of Manufacturers of Capital Goods), international industrial research Centers (i.e. ENEA) and international organizations like EU-NANOFUTURES or NIA.

RESEARCH DIVISIONS:

•  Critical Raw Materials (CRMs). CRMs strategy and internationalization. Advanced Technologies to facilitate the replacement or efficiency/ optimization of CRMs in industrial processes. •  Nanosafety. Nanotoxicity, eco-compatibility and nanobiotechnology (priority as it is compulsory for new materials). •  Innovation and Nanotechnology for alternatives in CRMs substitution. •  Design of advanced new materials (following the "Materials Genome" initiative & EU program) & "Materials by Design“ (new CRMs alternative materials). •  Design of industrial value chains (eco-design, life cycle analysis, and resource efficiency) & New models & strategies of business and economy for products. •  Graphene technology and carbon chemistry (at theoretical and experimental level,: graphene, its derivatives and other carbon-based alternatives as the high value substitutive route for CRMs in many technological applications). •  New photonic technologies and development of new materials for photonics. •  New materials and alloys for engineering extreme conditions ((manufacturing industry, aerospace, energy (including fission and fusion)). •  Resource efficiency and raw materials in value chains critical for Europe for the use of CRMs and their impact on society: (Automotive, electronic and magnetic materials, packaged food...).

MEMORIA CIENTÍFICO-TÉCNICA REDES DE EXCELENCIA – REDES TEMÁTICAS !6. RESEARCH TEAMS, STAKEHOLDERS AND INSTITUTIONS INVOLVED IN INCRAM

INCRAM will start its R&D&I activity with 5 Spanish core partners involving groups and institutions accounting for more than 50 researchers (note red border in the logo within Figure , for core partners of the network). In addition it will strategically establish synergy with 4 key entities that play a relevant EU role in both the EIP-Raw Materials and KIC-Raw (also logos bordered in red). The Spanish core members will be: ICCRAM-UBU, ICMA-CSIC, UCLM, BCMATERIALS, CIRCE The International core partners will be: VTT (Finland), ENEA (Italy), UNIVPM⇔UNIADRION, UNICA⇔AIMAT

Figure 2: Participants, members, supporters and international dimension of INCRAM.

Moreover, INCRAM will benefit of the support from MULTINANOMAT (An active network of Spanish researchers working in the design of new nanotechnology-based materials by multiscale modeling in synergy with front edge experimental techniques. www.multinanomat.eu), as well as from the EU – Platform NANOFUTURES. Due to the importance of the objectives of INCRAM, its EU dimension, and its foundation around two Actions Groups / Commitments 1.7 (RESET) and 1.8 (SUBS-EXTREME) within the EIP (check https://ec.europa.eu/eip/raw-materials/en/call-commitments), it will establish a direct communication with the EU-EIP RM as well as with the EU-Commission. Other Spanish and international partners working in Materials and also involved in the Network during its first actions and steps. Potential identified Spanish members to be involved are: Tecnalia, IMDEA Materiales, UPM, UPC, CSIC (several centres and research institutes) … Other international partners whom we already have contact and will be involved are: Fraunhofer, CEA, CNRS, SINTEF, … INCRAM has a clear industrial innovation goal, and starts with the support of a board of Spanish National and International industries representing key industrial value chains where CRMs play a major role.

Developing new substitution technologies, and PROMOTING their integration in the industrial value chain, at time that evaluating and ENSURING its environmental compatibility.
