Abstract

The article deals with the question of the use of rare earth metals in a variety of innovative applications and related strategic importance of these elements for further development of the knowledge‑based economy (KBE). The discussion included, issues of ecological risks associated with use of rare earth metals and the functioning of the global market. The high dependence of the EU on imports of rare earth metals may pose in the future certain risks associated with continuity of supply.
