AMIR – Master in Advanced Materials: Innovative Recycling

EIT RawMaterials Academy - AMIR

France, Portugal, Germany, Belgium, Spain, Hungary

Environmental Science, Engineering

Master's Degree

Materials are the building blocks of the modern global economy and are instrumental for the transition to a green, circular economy that emits less CO2. Thirty of these materials have been defined by the EU as critical, meaning that they are both highly important to the EU economy and in dangerously low supply. Accessing the known primary raw material sources has become more challenging, while amounts of industrial waste and end-of-life products are rapidly increasing. These waste streams contain secondary raw materials, many of which are critical and can be recovered, diversifying supply and delivering usable materials to meet increasing demands.

Master of Science (MSc)

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.

GREEN Graduate Program in Evolutionary Ecology in Aquatic Environments (EEAE)

Université de Pau et des Pays de l'Adour

France

Biology, Environmental Science

Master's Degree

Aquatic ecosystems are both highly diverse and threatened by anthropogenic disturbances such as pollution, global change, eutrophication, harvesting, habitat loss, and fragmentation. These disturbances can have selective effects, or interact with selective factors, in a way that can impact evolutionary processes. As these processes may either promote population resistance/resilience through adaptation or accentuate the threat through maladaptation, understanding evolutionary forces at work in natural and disturbed aquatic environments is paramount to assessing the fate of biodiversity and managing it in a sensible way in the long term.
