  • Yogi Wibisono Budhi
    Deputy for Research and Technological Development of the Mining Industry Agency of the Republic of Indonesia, Professor of Chemical Engineering at the Bandung Institute of Technology (ITB)
    «Last year, when I was in Russia, Dr. Konstantin Ivanovskikh from Giredmet JSC mentioned that a congress dedicated to rare metals, materials and technologies would be held in the country in 2026. Then he invited me to participate in this event. I believe that this area is very important and promising. We hope that perhaps next year we will be able to establish cooperation and organize a joint Russian-Indonesian conference on this topic. I am familiar with the activities of the organizer of the congress, Giredmet JSC, and we met with representatives of the institute last year. And, of course, I would like to congratulate Giredmet JSC on its 95th anniversary! We also hope that in the future we will have an opportunity for cooperation between Giredmet JSC and our agency in Indonesia. I consider this an important experience.»

    «I was invited to the RAREMET 2026 Congress, and I feel that this is exactly the place where the latest technologies in the field of rare earth metals and elements are presented. One of the best impressions for me is not only the technology, but also the cultural program around the event. The congress team organized for us a visit to the environs of Moscow, thanks to which we got acquainted with the culture of Russia. We get to know each other, and it helps us to cooperate even more effectively.»
  • Vladimir Smorodinnikov
    IndiaMall
    «Here we managed to get acquainted with colleagues who deal specifically with the equipment. This is a relatively new area for me, and we have found new points for cooperation.»

  • Vitaly Sanin
    Giredmet JSC
    «Our congress has gathered a wide representation of academic institutions, scientific organizations, universities, and enterprises. A wide range of issues were discussed, from basic science to applied research and implementation, including economic aspects. This is very important for building and creating modern technologies.».
  • Alexey Kornienko
    DS-Soft
    «Participation in RAREMET-2026 was an excellent opportunity to synchronize our developments with the current needs of the rare metals market. The round table dedicated to AI-guided synthesis was held in the format of the most open and constructive dialogue. It was valuable to discuss not only the theoretical possibilities of neural networks, but also specific cases of introducing intelligent search and data processing into scientific and production processes. Such events set the right vector for the development of the country's technological sovereignty!»
  • Yuri Syrov
    Giredmet JSC
    «The Congress was well organized. There were many interesting reports. I believe that the requirement for Russian-speaking speakers to make a report in English is redundant. I really liked that the representative of Vietnam made a report in Russian at the plenary session.».
  • Olga Chesalina
    Rosatom Fiberglass JSC
    «Well-equipped conference room. But intermediate screens were needed, the presentations were poorly visible even from the first 5 rows. Well-organized coffee breaks and lunch on May 20 and 22. May 21 - the food was poorly organized. Interesting reports».
  • Maxim Tenevich
    A.F. Ioffe Institute of Physics and Technology, Russian Academy of Sciences
    «The event was held at a high level: a large selection of sections, high-level speakers. During these three days, we managed to get a very close look at the current state in the field of rare metals, materials and technologies. Thank you so much for the opportunity to attend such a high-level scientific event!»
  • Arkady Naumov

  • Jeanetta Galieva
    Skygrad Group of Companies
    «Thank you! Everything was organized superbly! Cozy conference room (congress hall), English translators, break coffee. The volunteers met participants of the Congress including foreign ones.»
  • Alyona Donskova
    Niigraphit
    «The Congress left the impression of a timely and highly intelligent event. While previous meetings were more of an overview nature, the current forum clearly marked the industry's transition from the stage of geopolitical discussions to the phase of specific technological and logistical solutions. The organization and format of the event were at a decent level. Separately, I would like to note the simultaneous interpretation and the quality of the networking area – we managed to negotiate with representatives of both mining divisions and end users (electronics, renewable energy, defense industry). The only drawback was the density of the program: the parallel sessions were too simultaneous, which forced us to choose between important topics.»
  • Hasbi Kushkhov
    Kabardino-Balkarian State University
    «The Congress was organized and conducted at a high level. Reports on the production of rare refractory and rare earth metals, alloys and intermetallic compounds for energy, electronics, and mechanical engineering were presented. For us, KBSU electrochemists, the negotiations with Giredmet metallurgists on the electrochemical production of metallic neodymium and alloys with heavy REM (dysprosium) are very useful. A scientific school has been formed at KBSU in this area, and there is some world-class experience and results.»
  • Roman Verbitsky
    Giredmet JSC
    «Great Congress! I would like to draw your attention to the fact that instead of the singer, you could turn on background music, thereby making the coffe breakes a little bit richer. Everything else was great! Great respect and gratitude to the organizers!»

The Congress covers important topics related to rare and rare earth metals, mining, processing, and extraction. Panel discussions are a great opportunity to share valuable and useful information. I would like to mention the Media BOX separately. It was very interesting to see different Russian newspapers and magazines about REM. The RAREMET Congress is a platform for exchanging opinions and establishing new contacts. I am happy to be a part of this Congress.»
