European Advanced Materials Academy: Securing Europe's materials leadership through skilled and future-ready talents

Objective

The European Advanced Materials Academy is a transformative initiative to position the European Union at the forefront of advanced materials innovation, enabling the twin transition towards sustainability and digitalisation while ensuring global industrial leadership. Despite the critical role advanced materials play, the field is constrained by a lack of skilled talent. The Academy aims to address this challenge by equipping Europe with the current and future skills necessary to lead in this arena.

The Academy's goal is to become a globally recognised, game-changing materials learning and talent hub, powered by a revolutionary, one-stop-shop platform that unites 4 key stakeholders: workers, learners, employers, and educators. It integrates the latest workforce agility and skills intelligence technologies to provide personalised learning pathways, real-time skills data, and innovative solutions. Led by EIT RawMaterials and EIT Manufacturing, and in collaboration with the most important actors in advanced materials, the Academy is set to disrupt the traditional talent development and recruitment landscape.

Its approach begins with the creation of a high-quality solutions portfolio, institutional accreditation, and credentialing system. Through partnerships with education and training providers across the EU, the Academy ensures wide access to its offerings. A massive marketing and communications campaign amplifies its reach, while stakeholder collaborations guarantee its long-term impact. Financial sustainability is built into the model, ensuring the Academy continues well beyond the project’s initial phase.

With a focus on inclusivity and innovation, the Academy envisions a thriving community of skilled and future-ready talents driving Europe’s advanced materials field. The initiative not only fills a critical skills gap but also lays the foundation to revolutionise global standards, aligning with the EU’s broader sustainability and industrial leadership goals.
