MOTIVATION

Ivan Belo
Participate in the SusCritMat Winter School on Critical Raw
FERNANDES Materials, as it highly correlates with my PhD research in Process
Simulation and Life Cycle Assessment. As a matter of fact, my PhD
research is focused on permanent magnets production from
complex minerals containing Rare Earth Elements.
