The EIT-Label is a high, strategic priority for the EIT and EIT RawMaterials, as education EIT Core KPIs can only be achieved through EIT-Label Programmes and Graduates. A strategic high priority for the EIT and EIT RawMaterials higher education activities is to achieve… Leggi tutto EIT-Labelled Programme, Graduate and Start-up targets, outlined in the strategic agenda and in the KIC objectives. The SUMA Master Programme is a fully operational and successful EIT-Label Master Programme achieving and exceeding its recruitment targets, thereby delivering 20% of all Label Graduates in EIT RawMaterials. The involvement of Atlantic Copper in a meaningful way as the "SUMA Atlantic Copper Chair", to give industry lectures, provide internships and promote SUMA locally. This was realised by merging the ACCHAIR proposal submitted under KAVA6 into the IMAGINE-III proposal. IMAGINE-3 further evolves the SUMA master programme and its curriculum to include strategically-relevant, interdisciplinary digitalizaiton skills and competences in its curriculum with the addition of "digitalisation" modules in all 9 master tracks. Digitalisation skills and competences will be needed in all industries to drive change in the raw materials sector - including primary and secondary producers (mining companies, recyclers, smelters and refineries), but also raw materials end-users such as the automotive OEMs, renewable energy industries, ICT and infrastructure industries. The demand and need for digital competences has been memorialised in strategy documents, such as the EU New Skills Agenda, the World Economic Forum "Future of Work", and the EU Digital Education Action Plan, to name a few. Extension of the partnership to involve two more universities from RIS regions, strategically in line with the priorities of the EC, Horizon Europe, EIT and EIT RawMaterials, to contribute to increasing the innovation capacity of RIS regions. Moreover, this is fully in line with the Master School strategy, to involve RIS universities as entry universities in their consortium. Intensification of the I&E education and opportunities (in addition to 30ECTS dedicated to compulsory I&E courses) in order to increase the likelihood that SUMA students will hone their creativity and entrepreneurial skills and competences to develop solutions to challenges sourced from industry. This is evidences in the courses now being required at each university where teams of students develop business ideas, as part of compulsory ECTS education.
