Building a resilient Europe through responsible mineral exploration
We use innovative methods and technologies to unlock the EU’s resource potential, improve public knowledge of the
role of critical raw materials in the modern world, and promote environmentally and socially friendly mineral
exploration.
We raise awareness of critical raw materials and their significance for our modern world by
developing an educational package for schools and universities
We are a group of research institutions, SMEs, and mineral exploration companies, working on improving knowledge of mining and mineral exploration and increasing access to and supply of critical raw materials in an environmentally and socially sustainable manner.
We use state-of-the-art methods and technologies to gain an understanding of known mineral deposits and discover new ones. Through our project, we join the mission of strengthening the autonomy of the EU by boosting knowledge of and acting on its resource potential.
To match the demand for minerals and support the EU's raw material autonomy, the domestic potential for critical raw
materials needs to be understood - but also the people's concerns, fears, and hopes related to the mineral sector. This
is our main focus in AGEMERA.

AGEMERA Open Innovation Seminar (Tallinn, 6 May 2025)
Join us for the AGEMERA Open Innovation Seminar: "Exploring Tomorrow: Innovations in Mineral Tech and Beyond", where leading experts, technology developers, industry stakeholders, policymakers, and researchers will gather to discuss the future of mineral exploration, deep-tech innovation, and sustainable resource management.
The event will take place on 6 May 2025, at TalTech Mektory (Tallinn, Estonia) and online, at 15:00-17:00 EET (14:00-16:00 CET). For those joining in-person, the event will be followed by networking and refreshments.
The seminar will highlight the achievements of the AGEMERA Project, particularly its innovative, non-invasive mineral exploration and data visualisation technologies. These advances are reshaping how we discover and understand mineral resources, with a strong emphasis on environmental sustainability and operational efficiency.
