Sustainability is more than just a buzzword. Raw materials are one of the fastest depleting resources on Earth. A steady and sustainable supply of many of these materials is vital for a decarbonising society, renewable energy infrastructure, electric mobility, and also consumer products and electronics.

In order to deal with this challenge, three leading European universities cooperated to develop a new Erasmus and master’s program — the International Master of Science in Sustainable and Innovative Natural Resource Management (SINReM).
