MEITIM: Master in Entrepreneurship, Innovation and Technology Integration in Mining

Introduction

MEITIM project will design and develop an entirely new industry-driven MSc program that will educate a new generation of technologists and entrepreneurs who understand the whole raw materials value chain and have the ability to integrate innovations and new technologies into new innovative and feasible business solutions with high-impact and added value in the industry.

By integrating innovation, technology integration, creativity and entrepreneurship, graduates of this programme will be able to transform real problems into research challenges and generate innovative ideas and strategies with an entrepreneurial vision. The activities related to innovation and the conception, design, manufacture, evaluation, certification and marketing of technological products and services will be, among others, professional competencies associated with this degree.

MEITIM project is oriented to:
• Enhance the creativity and innovation capacity of engineers.
• Provide in-depth knowledge of technologies (by practical training) that are entering the primary sector of the raw materials value chain (geology, mining, mineral processing and metallurgy). This will give students the ability to understand technical, business, social and economic aspects and a broad understanding of innovation and entrepreneurship in the raw materials sector.
• Stimulate technological innovation and technology integration to create new opportunities and added value.
• Improve the mindset of entrepreneurship.
• Complement the T-shape profile of trained professionals.

The project is co-financed by the EIT RawMaterials Academy.
