Innovation for EDUCATION
The Education Team at the Resources Innovation Center is the hub for many transdisciplinary educational projects with lasting effect at both national and international levels. Our vision is to establish a center of excellence for education in order to promote and continuously develop best practices in training by leveraging the results of past and ongoing projects, thereby opening up new perspectives.
Our main goal is to create a center of excellence and thus pave the way for the education of the future. Our motto is: “Innovation for education!”
Projects for higher Education:
MiReBooks creates a series of interactive mining handbooks based on virtual and augmented reality (mixed reality, MR), as a new digital standard for higher education in mining throughout Europe. Traditional paper-based teaching materials are being combined with MR materials and transformed into pedagogically and didactically coherent MR manuals for integrative use in the classroom. MiReBooks will change the way classes are taught, as teachers will be able to engage their students more effectively and offer them a richer repertoire of content and better opportunities for understanding.

In response to the growing demand for critical minerals, the Professional Social Licence to Operate (PRO SLO) PhD School unites experts from industry, research, and academia across Europe to equip current and future leaders in the raw materials sector with the skills necessary to effectively manage the complex processes of Social Licence to Operate (SLO).
The PRO SLO PhD school offers hybrid training with online lectures on the basic principles and terminology of SLO from various perspectives, such as politics, society, ethics, and the environment, as well as SLO examples.
On-site in an active mining community, students can interact with various stakeholder groups to develop a methodology for achieving SLO, supported by mentors from academia and industry.

Knowledge Transfer Projects:
MOSA’s goal is to promote circular economy through a collaborative educational approach, with a focus on promoting social cohesion, sustainability, and collective growth. This makes it accessible to a wider audience, introducing technologies, enabling hands-on learning, and encouraging active participation in sustainable practices.
MOSA disseminates the latest research findings on topics related to the circular economy, such as future energy technologies and applications, efficient resource management, biodiversity, and carbon applications.
SAFE – Sustainable Agriculture and Forestry Explained focuses on the targeted networking of science and society. The emphasis is on cooperation, joint design, and the joint development of knowledge between researchers, industry players, political decision-makers, and practitioners in a living lab. An approximately 1.5-hectare site at the Montanuniversität Leoben serves as an easily accessible communication and science location for sustainable technologies related to soil health, biodiversity, and sustainable resource use.
Projects for Schools:
The Education Team offers various services for both educators and students of all school levels, including professionals, and input for lifelong learning. We provide access to educational materials for teaching STEM-related subjects, train-the-trainer workshops, and much more.
For students from different educational levels and backgrounds, we offer various opportunities to participate in programs, internships, and events at the national and international level. We are happy to assist schools in organizing visits to science-related museums or participating in public events.
Our extensive network, both nationally and internationally, offers the opportunity to connect with educators and students across Europe, learn together, and grow!
In the project “RM@Schools” students can learn about raw materials and circular economy in an interactive way.
