Blast holes analysed online in real time IMA Engineering has launched its Drill Cuttings Sampler-Analyser called PDSA. PDSA can analyze drill benches with the speed of production drilling with trailer mounted system or integrated on the drill rig. PDSA data can be used to make accurate 3D model of the blast bench. […]
Magnetometry Network (MagNet project) won the Greater Region Interregional Science Prize 2018 for its collaborative fundamental research and R&D activities MagNet, innovation project supported by EIT RawMaterials, won the 2018 Interregional Research Prize of the Greater Region for its collaborative fundamental research and R&D activities. Let’s wish the project achieves the same success at the European scale! […]
EIT RawMaterials Start-up and SME Booster funding supported the implementation of the Mineral Screen project analysing industrially important minerals with Timegated® Raman spectroscopy Mining industry has a need to identify and localize economically feasible mineral resources and separate waste rock and gangue from valuable minerals. They are lacking an effective tool for real-time material analyses. […]
EIT RawMaterials supported project TAPA has developed innovative solutions to substitute rubber for sustainable materials in car components manufacturing European manufacturers often utilise input raw materials that are sourced in other continents such as Asia or Africa. There are different reasons for this, among which is the fact that some raw materials are simply not available in Europe – this is the case of natural rubber. […]
EIT RawMaterials funded project COFREE has boosted R&D forces of partners to develop cobalt-free mining and manufacturing tools Mining and manufacturing tools are developed in industry labs using sophisticated R&D competencies, including rigorous tool testing methodologies. This has led to the production of tools, made from cement carbides, which have had an increasingly high resistance to wear. […]
TOP STARS – innovaTion challenge fOr PhD STudents And ReSearchers The TOP STARS 2017 Winter School is part of the innovation and entrepreneurship (I&E) education component of the EIT RawMaterials, primarily open to PhD students and young researchers. TOP STARS draws upon the experience of other schools and pilot projects proposed by the EIT Community to offer PhD students unique hands-on learning experience. […]
Raw Materials and Circular Societies Lighthouse Lighthouse innovation programmes (Lighthouses) are large-scale and long-term coordinated innovation initiatives that address critical and specific raw materials challenges for Europe. They are mission approaches to innovation and education challenges, directly steering EIT RawMaterials KIC (Knowledge and Innovation Community) activities towards the achievement of its strategic objectives and impact KPIs. Lighthouses will generate tangible solutions for societal challenges that have raw materials at their core. […]
An update on Resources and Energy Transition On 7 December 2018, a joint event was held by the Hanze University of Applied Sciences, the Club of Rome, EIT RawMaterials and the Springtide Academy. At the Energy Barn in Groningen, the Netherlands, interesting speakers and students from all over the world shared their knowledge and ideas concerning raw materials, the energy transition and a sustainable future.
