INTERNATIONAL NETWORK OF RAW MATERIALS TRAINING CENTRES

Project description

Meeting global demand of raw materials

The growing demand for raw materials is driven by numerous factors like rapid industrialisation and urbanisation, particularly in emerging economies. As nations strive for economic growth, the success of the construction, manufacturing, and infrastructure sectors hinges on abundant supply of resources. Also, advancements in technology and the rise of renewable energy sources have created a heightened need for specialised raw materials, such as rare earth elements. In this context, the EU-funded INTERMIN project will bring together educational and research institutions from the EU and key counterparts in third countries. It will also map the skills and knowledge of experts in the EU and third countries, while identifying knowledge gaps and emerging needs in the primary and secondary raw materials sectors.

Objective

INTERMIN will create a self-sustainable long-term lasting international network of training centres for professionals. This project involves educational and research institutions in the EU and the leading counterparts in third countries, based on specific country expertise in the primary and secondary raw materials sectors. The network will map skills and knowledge in the EU and the third countries, identify key knowledge gaps and emerging needs, develop roadmap for improving skills and knowledge, as well as establish common training programmes in the raw materials sectors. In line with the EU's strategy for international co-operation in research and innovation (COM(2012)497), the consortium will seek international collaboration, fostering and exploring synergies with the relevant EU Member States initiatives
