EIS develops innovative exploration concepts & data analysis tools to find new sources of CRMs for the EU #HorizonEurope

About us

Exploration Information System (EIS) is a 36-months Horizon Europe project launched in May 2022 and will play a supporting role in the implementation of the European Green Deal and increasing Europe’s long-term self-sufficiency of critical raw materials (CRM). EIS will develop new data analysis methods by applying artificial intelligence to mineral prospectivity mapping. Together with new geomodels, mineral systems modelling, machine learning, and deep learning, these new methods will reduce the current high exploration costs and improve the accuracy of the targeting of the early phase exploration. This makes mineral exploration more responsible by increasing energy efficiency, minimizing the footprint of mineral exploration on nature, reusing already existing exploration data, and increasing the needed CRM sources to achieve the decarbonization goals of the EU. EIS will also raise awareness of the general public on the importance of critical raw materials to the EU's economy, welfare, and their role in transitioning to a zero-carbon future. The EIS consortium consists of 17 partners from leading research institutes, academia, service providers, and industry, located in six European Union member states (FI, FR, DE, ES, CZ, SE) and South Africa, as well as one associate member from Brazil. Overall, the project will benefit from a vast international collaboration network.
