Forge your career in raw materials! Apply for the EIT-Labelled Master programmes!
Join an EIT-Labelled Master programme and become a global game-changer! From the iron and steel of our railway networks, required for transporting people and goods, to the gold and silver used in the circuitry of mobile phones, needed for transmitting information, materials are vital for modern life. Materials are also crucial for the transformation to an economy that emits fewer greenhouse gases. Electric vehicles need cobalt and lithium for rechargeable Li-ion batteries, photovoltaics and solar panels rely on silicon, and gearless wind turbines require rare earth elements to generate renewable energy. Materials are also finite. Smart, circular, resource-efficient ways [...]

EIT RawMaterials ENGIE project aims to address gender imbalance in geosciences
Call for young people to complete a questionnaire to inform activities There is a significant gender imbalance in the geosciences, especially in the mineral exploration and extraction sectors. However, studies confirm that diverse teams are more creative and innovative. The participation of women in raw materials related industries and the underpinning research is, therefore, necessary and may be considered to be an essential element of business strategy (especially with regard to recruitment and retention). EIT RawMaterials is supporting the implementation of the ENGIE project (Encouraging Girls to Study Geosciences and Engineering), which aims to attract 13 to 18-year-old girls [...]
