The EIT RawMaterials Regional Center Leoben contributes to the raw materials community in Europe through its vast project portfolio and public events.
EIT RawMaterials, part of the EIT (European Institute of Innovation and Technology), is the strongest consortium in the raw materials sector worldwide. EIT RawMaterials unites more than 300 partners – academic and research institutions as well as businesses – from more than 20 EU countries.
EIT RawMaterials’ mission is to foster growth and attractiveness for the European raw materials sector. Through radical innovation, new education models and strategic advisory, we’re developing raw materials into a major strength for Europe. In alignment with the EU’s Critical Raw Materials Act, we focus on three key areas to achieve success: Closing Material Loops / Securing Raw Materials supply / Designing Materials Solutions.
Montanuniversität Leoben has been a core partner of EIT RawMaterials since the very beginning. We integrate Austrian stakeholders from the raw materials and economic sector into the community, mainly by project integration and innovation and entrepreneurship activities. Additionally, education projects have evolved to be a special strength!
Another focus is the region of East and South East Europe (ESEE Region), where we are cooperating with local partners in many projects.
