EIT RawMaterials

The KIC’s aim is to deve­lop new pro­ces­ses and pro­ducts for the long-term inves­ti­ga­ti­on, extrac­tion, hand­ling, recy­cling and sub­sti­tu­ti­on of raw mate­ri­als and to invol­ve key play­ers along the ent­i­re value crea­ti­on chain.

Thanks to ground-breaking inno­va­tions, sup­port for start-up com­pa­nies and effec­ti­ve trai­ning for up-and-coming talents, the Euro­pean raw mate­ri­al sec­tor should be made fit for the future. This inclu­des a sta­ble sup­ply of raw mate­ri­al for Euro­pe, a com­pe­ti­ti­ve indus­try and ulti­mate­ly new jobs.

The Tech­ni­sche Hoch­schu­le Nur­em­berg is invol­ved in the fiel­ds of tea­ching, rese­arch and deve­lo­p­ment. In the area of deve­lo­p­ment, it is working with the Fraun­ho­fer Rese­arch Group for “Par­ti­cle Tech­no­lo­gy, Raw Mate­ri­al Inno­va­tions and Resour­ce Effi­ci­en­cy” and the Cent­re of Exper­ti­se for Ana­ly­tics, Nano­tech­no­lo­gy and Mate­ri­al Tech­no­lo­gy. In addi­ti­on to lea­ding Ger­man uni­ver­si­ties, such as the TU Berg­aka­de­mie Frei­berg, the RWTH Uni­ver­si­ty Aachen and the TU Claus­thal, the con­sor­ti­um also inclu­des the Fraun­ho­fer group and renow­ned com­pa­nies such as BASF, DMT and Herae­us. The KIC is based in Berlin.
