GREENE, short for SINGLE-GRAIN RE-ENGINEERED ND-FE-B PERMANENT MAGNETS, is an EU-funded project focused on pioneering advancements in high-performance permanent magnets, re-engineering their microstructure to make them more powerful while at the same time reducing Rare Earth (RE) content. Led by the Slovenian Jožef Stefan Institute, our consortium of 15 European partners is tackling the environmental and supply challenges associated with these crucial components of high-tech products that power a green energy future, such as e-vehicles and wind turbines.
Resource-efficient, high-performance Nd-Fe-B magnets with -20% RE content, +20% coercivity, and maximum energy product by 20%.
Independent, resilient and scalable supply of key materials, magnets and components within Europe.
Increased sustainability of magnet production with -5% scrap rates, -15% energy consumed and -30% toxicity.
Society and stakeholders better equipped for a sustainable green transition in Europe.
GREENE brings together 15 leading organisations from across Europe, each contributing unique expertise to create breakthrough solutions in material science.
On 19–20 May 2026, partners of the GREENE project convened in Parma, Italy, and online for the project’s Month 24 meeting, marking an important milestone to review progress and align on the next phase of activities.
Where: Maastricht, The Netherlands
When: 17 – 19 May, 2026
The meeting’s theme aims to challenge the SETAC community to acknowledge outliers and value their potential merits, while at the same time maintaining the highest scientific practices that are transparent and reproducible.
Where: Brussels, Belgium
When: 19 May, 2026
The event ‘Bridging Circular Value Chains for Permanent Magnets’ brings together European policymakers, industry leaders, researchers and EU-funded projects to advance collaboration in the field of sustainable rare earth and permanent magnet value chains.
