This strong response underscores the continued momentum for international and intersectoral exchange in research and innovation.
As part of the MSCA-SE programme, FREECOVER continues to benefit from this framework by enabling staff exchanges, reinforcing research partnerships, and enhancing the project’s scientific impact. We look forward to working with our partners and sending/receiving secondments that will advance our mission in sustainable Rare Earth Element recovery.
