Sustainable Management of Critical Raw Materials
The project has the challenging aim (i) to research, develop and introduce courses aimed at PhDs, MSc’s, professionals and executives on complex and department overarching topics for the first time, and (ii) to make these courses adaptable to a variety of different formats by providing a modular structure. These courses will develop new skills which will help participants to easier understand the impact and role of critical raw materials in a whole value chain view and by this have an added value for the companies by which they are or will be working.
The overarching concept of discussing environmental and social aspects will prepare students to gain a broad view and face future challenges in Europe and globally. An emphasis on different tools, approaches and data foundations will teach participants individual and informed research methods in this complex area, and will thus foster competitiveness, innovation and entrepreneurship. The application of such courses by other institutions will help to disseminate a new approach of hybrid teaching/learning to other members of KIC Raw Materials and outside this community.
