About this Study Course

As the world increasingly embraces green technology, the demand for mineral-based materials has witnessed global growth. Traditional metals and high-tech metals essential for applications like windmills and electric vehicles play a crucial role in shaping an environmentally sustainable future. While metal reuse remains integral, it alone cannot meet the escalating demand. The European Mining Course (EMC) steps in to address this challenge by training experts equipped with a diverse skill set to fulfill the continuously rising demand for metals and minerals.
