RaVeN - Master studije u Rudarskom inženjerstvu

Today‘s Europe needs a skilled workforce for the raw materials industry, which forms the basis for the development of innovative technologies and industries of the future. The large imbalance between raw material acquisition and consumption that exists in Europe requires a greater commitment to securing supply chains. Such a strategy demands the acquisition of a skilled, entrepreneurial workforce with an awareness of sustainable activities between technology, economics, society, and the environment. The RaVeN EIT-Labelled master’s program in Mining Engineering responds to this challenge by offering an innovative education program that offers a comprehensive approach to resources with an emphasis on a holistic value chain and on closing the gap between the supply of, and demand for, raw materials. The objective will be pursued along an active learning path involving students and looking for unconventional solutions that can get us closer to a more self-contained (natural resource re-circulating) and, therefore, more sustainable economy. The three cooperating university partners, representing a broad geographical and cultural spectrum, and collaborating with the two sides of the Knowledge Triangle, contribute a combination of expertise and highly entrepreneurial mindsets to the program.

Double Diploma: Graduates of the RaVeN program will be awarded diplomas from AGH University of Science and Technology and TU Bergakademie Freiberg. Students will obtain the degree at:

• AGH UST - magister inżynier
• TUBAF - Master of Science

Graduates will also be awarded the EIT Label Certificate.

Participating Universities

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 in order 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 - RaVeN 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 - RaVeN 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 and doctoral level.

As a student of an EIT-Labelled program from EIT RawMaterials Academy - RaVeN, 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 and 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 towards 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 the chance 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.
