3. About the GRIP-ARM Project: GRIP-ARM examines the globalised supply and demand of critical raw materials, including rare earth elements (REEs)—from mining, processing, manufacturing, use, and recycling—to scrutinise mining as a strategy for industrialisation and an integral part of the emerging strategic competition and global clean energy transition.

Through the research programme, GRIP-ARM will illuminate the divergent strategies for achieving secured access to Critical Raw Materials (CRMs) and the rise of industrial policy among mineral producers and consumers in a rapidly changing global political economy.
