Success Stories

I-EDDA: Innovative Exploration Drilling and Data Acquisition As exploration goes deeper, drilling costs increase, so does the need to extract as much information as possible from each drilled meter. Innovation project I-EDDA aims to bring together drilling engineers and geoscientists to develop new on-site measurement technologies and drilling methods. The I-EDDA network is partly built around the [...]

Fostering skills and talent development SETI, an education project supported by EIT RawMaterials, demonstrated remarkable success in achieving the goal of innovation in education and enabling skills and talent development, connecting partners from business, research and education (knowledge triangle) and transferring skills to local SMEs. […]

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 [...]

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 [...]
