EU Raw Materials Week, 2018

/in /by

The 3rd edition of the EU “Raw Materials Week” will take place from Monday 12 to Friday 16 November 2018 in Brussels. It builds up on a series of events organised by the European Commission addressing the latest news on raw materials in the EU. It will be a unique opportunity for the raw materials community to discuss and exchange on all relevant issues: policy, technology, international cooperation, framework conditions, knowledge base etc.

Some of the highlights of the RMW, which LPRC Team will follow, are the Critical Raw Materials in our everyday life, Copernicus for Raw Materials, Responsible Supply of Raw Materials, EIT RawMaterials – Developing raw materials into a major strength for Europe, 6th annual High Level Conference of the EIP on Raw Materials, Drivers and Solutions for Integrating Information in the EU RMKB, UN Framework Classification for Sustainable Resources Management in Europe sessions.

LPRC Team will be present throughout the week! Reference and registration: eurawmaterialsweek.eu

INTERMIN questionnaire

/in /by

Since February of this year, LPRC is part of the INTERMIN-Project which is funded by the European Union’s H2020 scheme. The 36-month Project aiming at the creation of a self-sustainable long-term lasting international network of training centres for the raw materials sector.

One significant part of this project is to make an inventory of all the post-graduate training programmes in the field of raw-materials engineering that are available (not just in the EU but worldwide). In order to facilitate this task our colleagues have prepared the enclosed survey. Based on this survey and a thorough assessment of the future technological development and prospective shortages of specific skills we want to identify possible gaps and build on this, preparing the community (not just the partners of the project-consortium) for the future.

We are all very thankful if you could spend a few minutes of your time helping us. If there are any questions please don’t hesitate to contact Philipp Hartlieb from Montanuniversitaet Leoben (Philipp.hartlieb_at_unileoben.ac.at), who compiled the survey.

Please find the survey in the following link: INTERMIN questionnaire. 

Thank you very much for taking the time to answer this questionnaire. It will take approx. 10-15 minutes.
