SusCritMat is a PhD education program dealing with education courses on sustainable management of critical raw materials.
Objective
The project aims at educating PhD students, master students, junior engineers or researchers and managers from industry to cover a series of important aspects regarding critical raw materials.
The solution (technology)
The consortium will use and create teaching materials and compile them to a variety of modules, which can be combined into different course formats. Education materials will be made available to participants of summer schools, before, during and after the courses so that they can work with state-of-the-art materials data.
