Every two years, the European Minerals Day (EMD) gives the opportunity to the European-wide public to explore the world of minerals. Over one week-end, quarries and plants from the minerals sector all over Europe open their doors to schools, students, families, neighbours and all those interested to discover more about an industry that affects every aspect of our lives. The EMD is initiative by the European minerals sector and its related representative organisations. During its first edition in 2007, it welcomed more than 30,000 visitors in over 100 sites in 17 European countries.
