Beschreibung des Programms

The Challenge

As global and EU populations and subsequent welfare demands increase, consumption per capita is also on the rise. In the EU especially, consumption has outpaced production, particularly with respect to the more complicated, resource-intensive technologies and products that have become part of daily life. As a result, recycling is of utmost importance to diversify our supply sources and meet society‘s needs.

AMIS is a master‘s program in Advanced Materials for Innovation and Sustainability. The primary objective of the program is to provide students with an understanding of the full raw materials value chain and a mindset for innovation and entrepreneurship focusing on sustainability. AMIS tackles this challenge by focusing on three themes – all of which are central themes of EIT RawMaterials:

  • Substitution of critical or toxic materials in products for optimized performance
  • Material chain optimization for end-of-life products
  • Product and services design for the circular economy

AMIS aims to train T-shaped professionals – experts in particular raw materials discipline with an overview of the entire raw materials value chain. T-shaped professionals also work closely with industry professionals to explore how innovation and entrepreneurship can strengthen the market uptake of raw materials solutions.

Through the program, AMIS students will become experts in the field of raw materials, particularly in sustainable functional materials, while gaining a holistic view of the value and process chain.

Informationen über das Institut

Our modern lifestyle relies on raw materials. From the iron and steel of our railway infrastructure to the gold and silver in the circuitry of smartphones: raw materials are everywhere. Even the transition to a climate-neutral future requires cobalt for electric vehicles, lithium for rechargeable batteries, silicon for photovoltaics and solar panels, and rare earth elements for wind turbines that generate renewable energy

As the world grows smaller and more hyper-connected, the impact of society on the Earth has never been more visible. It is now clear that we need to shift to a circular economy to responsibly use the Earth’s finite resources. But what can just one individual do to help? More than you think! Real change requires courage, innovative thinking, and collective action – the same skill set that EIT RawMaterials Academy - AMIS looks for in prospective students. Are you ready to mine your raw talent, help shape a more circular, green economy, and create sustainable solutions for tomorrow?

What do we offer students?

EIT RawMaterials Academy - AMIS offers students a unique opportunity to learn in a dynamic environment, focusing on real-life challenges. Awarded by the EIT (European Institute of Innovation and Technology), a body of the European Union, the EIT Label is a certificate of quality that is granted only to excellent educational programs at the master's and doctoral levels.

As a student of an EIT-Labelled program from EIT RawMaterials Academy - AMIS, you’ll be part of the largest European raw materials network with more than 120 core and associate partners and 180 project partners, including higher education professionals, researchers, and industry experts from over 20 European countries. As an EIT Label student, you will be welcomed into this network. You will champion and contribute to the EIT RawMaterials goals of finding new, innovative solutions to secure the sustainable supply of raw materials across the value chain: from exploration, mining, and extraction, to mineral processing, recycling, and the movement toward a circular economy. EIT RawMaterials aims to equip a new generation of innovators in Europe with the necessary entrepreneurial mindset for designing and delivering materials solutions. You’ll also get to collaborate internationally and develop sustainable solutions to pressing economic, environmental, and societal challenges. And long after you graduate, you can stay connected via EIT RawMaterials Alumni.

What to expect?

  • Thesis internship placements at leading European companies
  • Membership of the EIT RawMaterials Alumni community
  • ‘Learning by doing’ with challenge-based courses that focus on real-life problems
  • Study tours and visits to innovative companies and industrial sites
  • Exciting new ways of learning: online courses, virtual and augmented reality, and MOOCs
  • Courses designed to nurture start-up ideas with accelerators and incubators
  • Course modules dedicated to entrepreneurship and innovation skills
  • EIT RawMaterials Innovation support: business plan competitions, innovation boot camps, seed funding
  • Expertise in a raw materials discipline – a comprehensive understanding of the entire raw materials value chain
  • EIT RawMaterials summer schools and interdisciplinary courses
  • European mobility – a study in at least two European countries
