Cost-effective, sustainable and responsible extraction routes for recovering distinct critical metals and industrial minerals as by-products from key European hard-rock lithium projects

the project in a Nutshell

NBRACER is a project powered by HORIZON Europe to help fight climate change and build a better future for everyone.

Its mission? To speed up the transformation of regions into places that are safe, green, clean, and healthy.

NBRACER brings together people from different backgrounds, work across industries, and team up with local communities in the Atlantic region to test ideas, share what works, and create real change. Whether it’s rethinking cities, protecting nature, or finding smart ways to adapt, this project is all about action, innovation, and collaboration for a climate-resilient world.

The main goal?

  • To support local leaders and communities by:
  • Matching solutions with climate resilience plans
  • Understanding the real risks (like floods, heatwaves, or sea level rise)
  • Considering the social and economic needs of each place
  • Building better governance and collaboration across sectors

This is not one-size-fits-all, it’s custom, science-backed, community-powered climate action.
