A New Look for a United Mission: CRMs4EU Launches First Cluster Logo

MAGELLAN is proud to be part of the CRMs4EU cluster – and today, we’re excited to unveil our first-ever logo.

Europe’s future hinges on the availability of critical raw materials (CRMs), which are essential for everything from digital technologies to clean energy systems. Ensuring a stable, resilient, and sustainable supply of these materials is a major challenge – and it’s one the CRMs4EU cluster is taking on together.

What is CRMs4EU?

The CRMs4EU cluster brings together 16 EU-funded projects focused on critical raw materials. These projects span a wide range of innovations, from sustainable mining and advanced exploration to cutting-edge recycling methods and material substitution.

Each project contributes a unique approach, but we share a common goal:
To strengthen Europe’s strategic autonomy in raw materials and support the goals of the EU Critical Raw Materials Act.

A Logo that Reflects Our Mission

Until now, the cluster has been a powerful but informal collaboration. With our new logo, we take a major step forward in presenting ourselves as a cohesive, recognisable entity.

The logo visualises our shared identity through:

  • Circular elements, symbolising both industrial innovation and circular economy principles
  • Earth-inspired colours, representing the natural origins of CRMs
  • A forward-moving arrow, echoing technological progress and Europe’s green and digital transition

It’s more than a visual – it’s a shared symbol of commitment.

Building a Collaborative Ecosystem

The CRMs4EU cluster is more than just a name or a logo. It’s a dynamic and growing ecosystem of EU-funded research and innovation projects that:

  • Share resources, knowledge, and expertise
  • Align communication and policy efforts
  • Multiply impact through joint actions and coordinated outreach

Together, we’re working across the entire value chain – from geology to policy – to ensure a resilient and sustainable CRM supply for Europe.

MAGELLAN in CRMs4EU

MAGELLAN focuses on increasing the recycling of Permanent Magnets (PM), thus promoting a sustainable European PM supply chain and supporting the green transition in Europe.

We joined the CRMs4EU cluster because we believe that collaboration is key to accelerating innovation and achieving greater impact.

By connecting with other projects across the value chain, we’re contributing to a more coordinated, strategic approach to Europe’s raw materials challenges – and helping shape the future of responsible resource use.

Get Involved

The CRMs4EU cluster is open to additional EU-funded projects working in the fields of raw materials, Earth observation, and sustainable supply chain innovation.
