The main objectives of the EU ICE SRM are a) to establish a common understanding of UNFC for raw materials, including its reporting, b) to expand UNFC to other resources (energy, water and secondary raw materials), c) to further develop and maintain a European Network for UNFC practitioners / experts, and d) to prepare trainings for different stakeholders - users. The EU ICE SRM shall primarily focus on European Union, but will extend its activities to neighboring countries and beyond (globally).
