About EIT RawMaterials

As the world moves towards a greener future, the demand for raw materials—minerals and metals—is set to increase immensely over the next three decades. Europe faces a critical challenge in securing a stable supply of these essential resources, and this is where EIT RawMaterials steps in.

EIT RawMaterials is at the forefront of driving innovation and sustainability in the raw materials sector. As an Innovation Community within the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT), we collaborate with over 300 partners across industry, academia, and research institutes. Together, we forge dynamic, long-term partnerships to develop innovative solutions that meet Europe's growing demand for raw materials.

About the European Raw Materials and Advanced Materials Academies

The European Raw Materials Academy, funded by the European Commission, supports upskilling and reskilling across Europe’s raw materials sector — from exploration and processing to recycling and circularity. It addresses key skill gaps in the industry, driven by sustainability, digitalisation, and industrial transformation, by offering future-oriented learning programs aligned with EU priorities such as the Critical Raw Materials Act.

The European Advanced Materials Academy, funded by the European Commission, aims to strengthen Europe’s leadership in advanced materials through targeted upskilling and reskilling. It focuses on the design, development, and application of advanced materials across industries, education systems, and research, providing innovative learning programs that align with EU strategies.
