Entrepreneurship, Innovation and Technology Integration in Mining

Overview

Partners: Technical University of Madrid, Spain; Wroclaw University of Science and Technology, Poland; Lappeenranta University of Technology, Finland)

Entrepreneurship, Innovation and Technology Integration in Mining at EIT RawMaterials Academy is an industry-driven project developed by a consortium of universities, leading industry partners and research centers. MEITIM Project will lead to the definition and setting up of a multidisciplinary MSc program aimed to create a new generation of technologists by complementing their deep technical knowledge and skills in raw materials disciplines with a sound knowledge in latest technologies and with the ability to integrate innovations and new technologies into feasible business solutions in the primary sector of raw materials.

MEITIM Project will be oriented to:

• Enhance the creativity and innovation capacity of engineers.
• Provide in-depth knowledge of technologies (by a practical training) that are entering in the primary sector of the raw materials value chain (geology, mining, mineral processing and metallurgy). This will give them the ability to understand technical, business, social and economic aspects, as well as giving them a broad understanding of innovation and entrepreneurship in the raw materials sector.
• Stimulate technological innovation and technologies integration with the vision of creating new opportunities and added value.
• Improve the mindset of entrepreneurship.
• Complement the T-Shape profile of professionals trained.
