Short summary

This article presents the map and dataset of critical raw materials (CRM) deposits in Europe produced within the GSEU (Geological Service for Europe) project. The map displays over 800 deposits in 33 countries. The article describes the methodology for compiling and harmonizing data, as well as a global assessment of CRM potential in Europe. It also discusses barriers of compiling and harmonizing CRM data at continental scale, and the limitations of the map and its dataset.
