Key Summary
Introduction
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
- AGH University of Science and Technology - Poland
- TU Bergakademie Freiberg - Germany
- Technical University of Košice - Slovakia
Curriculum
The strength of the RaVeN program is its innovative approach to teaching through an active learning path by integrating academia, industry, and research along the raw materials value chain through the involvement of non-academic experts, mobility exchanges, industry, and start-ups.
The RaVeN is a new two-year Mining Engineering MSc. degree scheme.
Raw Materials Value Chain Solutions with RaVeN
The curriculum is designed to equip participants with expertise in sustainable extraction, processing, and end-use of raw materials. The comprehensive approach of combining academic and expert knowledge will translate into awareness of, and concern for, the raw materials value chain sector in Europe. The process of knowledge acquisition will be carried out with close cooperation with a broad spectrum of stakeholders - including SMEs and large corporations. In addition, the study program will lead participants to wards “circular thinking”, bridging the raw materials gap with zero-waste policies that will be discussed during academic lectures as well as meetings with the industry.

Scholarships and Funding
AVSA scholarships of €13,500 from EIT RawMaterials are available.
For those students who will not be funded by AVSA, national ministerial scholarships can be provided. Additionally, the best students can be awarded academic scholarships for the highest academic achievements. Please contact us for information on available scholarships.
Career Opportunities
The RaVeN master’s degree program will prepare students with the hard and soft skills needed to understand and solve complex problems related to the entire raw materials value chain. The training and knowledge offered by the program will offer an advantage for future professionals in the sector, as it focuses on key steps of the value chain that are lacking in the current education portfolio in Europe. The program is designed to prepare students with up-to-date specialized practical knowledge on the sustainable exploitation of raw materials throughout the value chain: sourcing, processing, use, recycling, and back-to-sourcing. In addition, the RaVeN MSc fosters creativity, innovation, and entrepreneurship, preparing graduates to implement innovative solutions at their workplaces or to start and run their businesses successfully. Through the program, students will become technical experts in the field of raw materials, be aware of sustainability, and gain a holistic view of the value chain and processes. Graduates‘ skills and knowledge will be highly valued in the mining and processing, metallurgy, energy, automotive, and logistics sectors.
