EMerald Master in Georesources Engineering

Deadline not listed

The EMerald master in georesources engineering aims to train a new generation of engineers with an entrepreneurial mind-set, capable of identifying and sustainably managing the mineral and metal resources that are essential for the green energy transition. The energy and environmental transition is a major challenge for securing the well-being of future generations. The EU has adopted a very proactive policy in this area. Clearly expressed in the Green Deal, this strategy must absolutely be supported by a strengthening of training in science and technology. With a unique position at the interface between Earth Sciences and Engineering, the two-year master (120 ECTS) is designed for students with a background in both geology and applied sciences (mining, metallurgy, chemistry). The master, fully taught in English, offers an innovative curriculum from hands-on experiences in the university labs to the use of digital tools. It is jointly organized by 4 top-level European Universities, each of which hosts the students for at least a semester and delivers a Degree: the University of Liège (BE), the University of Lorraine (FR), Lulea University of Technology (SE), TU Bergakademie Freiberg (DE). The 3 associated partners will play a key role in providing seminars, internships/master theses and technical visits. The Geological Survey of Finland (GTK) and the Helmholtz Institute Freiberg for Resource Technology ( HIF) are at the cutting edge in the field of mineral resources characterisation and have remarkable facilities allowing the development of new processes for the treatment and recycling of mineral materials and metals. As for the University of Zagreb, it will help EMerald gain more visibility in the Western Balkan region and, eventually become a full partner in the upcoming years. The EMerald graduates will be able to develop innovative technologies that contribute to optimizing the efficient use of resources and preserving them for future generations.
