OERN reports: NAEN and scientific and technical journal «Subsoil Use XXI Century» will act as information partners of the International Congress on Rare Metals, Materials and Technologies «REDMET-2026.».
The congress will be held May 20-22, 2026 in Moscow on the site of RTU MIREA. Organizer - N.P. Sazhin Giredmet JSC (Chemical and technological block of Rosatom Science JSC).
About REDMET-2026 Congress«
International Congress «REDMET-2026.» - the main professional platform uniting science, business and government. The Forum covers the entire value chain: from exploration and production to the production of high-tech materials.
The event builds on the half-century-old tradition of «Sazhinsky Readings» and consolidates the status of the successor of the international REDMET conferences, focusing on solving real production problems.

The scientific and business agenda is divided into four thematic tracks covering the full cycle of rare metals development:
- RAREMET:Minerals - mineral resource base, sustainable processing technologies, involvement of technogenic raw materials and tailings, digital modeling.
- RAREMET:Chemistry - High-purity chemistry, advanced analytics, certification and new extraction methods.
- RAREMET:Metallurgy - metallurgy, refining, powder synthesis, production of alloys and magnetic materials.
- RAREMET:Functional - materials for microelectronics, optics, photonics, energy storage and hydrogen technologies.
An industry exhibition will be held in parallel RAREMET:Expo, The business part includes intergovernmental meetings and a Russian-Indian dialog. The business part includes intergovernmental meetings and Russian-Indian dialog. More than 500 experts from Russia, CIS countries, Asia and the Middle East are expected to participate.
Return to contentImportance of the agenda for the expert community
The more complex the raw material to be extracted and the longer the processing chain, the higher the cost of errors in the input data. The rare-metal industry requires extreme precision in design logic.
Request for real expertise
In this sector, the correctness of reserve estimates, comparability of exploration data and the validity of recovery technologies are critical. Independent professional expertise is becoming the main tool for mitigating investment risks, not just a formal step in reporting.
More than metallurgy
The agenda of the congress demonstrates a paradigm shift: it is about building sustainable supply chains, respecting environmental constraints, developing circular economy and materials science. Subsoil use is becoming the foundation of a country's technological sovereignty.

Informational partnership of the congress with NAEN and a journal «Subsoil Use XXI Century» - is a logical step. The magazine, published since 2006, is a basic platform for the specialized community OERN.
On its pages the practice of independent expertise and standards of public reporting are systematically formed. «REDMET-2026 sets technological vectors for the development of complex resources, and specialized institutes provide them with in-depth professional evaluation.
Return to contentStrategic vector of industry development
«REDMET-2026» is an assembly point of key competencies: geology, metallurgy, materials science and international cooperation. The industry is moving from isolated mining to a rigorous requirement: companies must be able to prove the economics and viability of the entire value chain.
Involvement of specialized expert structures in the work of the congress ensures that decisions will be based on quality data, and future projects will receive a reliable investment foundation.
