Our modern lifestyle relies on raw materials. From the iron and steel of our railway infrastructure to the gold and silver in the circuitry of smartphones: raw materials are everywhere. Even the transition to a climate-neutral future requires cobalt for electric vehicles, lithium for rechargeable batteries, silicon for photovoltaics and solar panels, and rare earth elements for wind turbines that generate renewable energy. As the world grows smaller and more hyper-connected, the impact of society on Earth has never been more visible. It is now devastatingly clear that our planet’s finite resources have been used irresponsibly. But what can just one individual do to help? More than you think! Real change requires courage, innovative thinking, and collective action – the same skill set that EIT RawMaterials Academy looks for in prospective students. Are you ready to mine your raw talent, help shape a more circular global economy, and create sustainable solutions for tomorrow? -

All places –small or large, rich or poor, near or far– are unique yet connected to many other places at the same time.
