EIT - KIC Raw materials: exploration-exploitation-extraction-processing-recycling-reuse KIC = Knowledge and Innovation Community; Initiative of the European Institute for Innovation and Technology (EIT) EIT - an independent body of the European Union established in March 2008, part of H2020 with a dedicated budget of 2,7 billion € Research & technology Higher Education Mission: increase European sustainable growth and competitiveness by reinforcing the innovation capacity of the EU Conceptual methodology: integrate higher education, research and business in areas of high societal need (the knowledge triangle) Overcoming fragmentation via long-term integrated partnerships and achieving critical mass Existing KIC-s Climate-KIC EIT ICT Labs KIC InnoEnergy Industry & SMEs

From student to entrepreneur What is a Knowledge and Innovation Community (KIC)? KICs are the operational part of the EIT KICs are long-term (min. 10 years) highly integrated, creative and excellence-driven partnerships gathering world-class partners from industry, research and universities KICs aim at implementing results from classic R&D projects and bring them to market readiness KICs receive a funding from the EIT to leverage ongoing projects towards market implementation New R&D mindset “Research is to transform money into knowledge, Innovation is to turn knowledge into money” KIC InnoEnergy Development, testing and market transfer of new technologies From lab to market Design of industry oriented, interdisciplinary education schemes From student to entrepreneur New ways of collaboration between industry and research From idea to product

Metallurgy/ Recycling EIT KIC for Raw Materials The aim: To ensure accessibility, availability and sustainable use of raw materials that is and achieve a resource efficient economy What it will achieve: KIC raw materials will be a knowledge hub and centre of expertise on academic, technical and practical education and research in sustainable surface, subsurface, deep-sea, urban and landfill mining, material management, recycling technologies, end of life management, material substitution and open trade as well as global governance in raw materials. Exploration Extraction Processing Metallurgy/ Recycling Substitution

Main advantages Strong network Impact on policy-makers Networking strongest EU partners in raw materials sector (Industry & SME, Academia & Research centers) Impact on policy-makers Direct impact on EU policies in Raw material sector Priority areas defined by the KIC Raw materials Financing – H2020, Regional Funds Indirect impact on national priority goals (funding through national structural funds) Industry-oriented Transfer and development of new and innovative technologies Founding of new, industrial-related education programs Industry-oriented PhD & MsC Theses
