EIT RawMaterials: Call for applications for RawMatCop

Call for applications for Postdoctoral Research Scholarship Projects & Academic Placements to Industry/Authorities

In December 2017, as a result of the call – Copernicus Building Skills Actions – from the European Commission/DG GROW, EIT RawMaterials was awarded a three-year action, the RawMatCop 2018-2020 programme. The RawMatCop 2018-2020 programme builds on the results and experiences from the one-year RawMatCop 2017 programme, also awarded by DG GROW and carried out by EIT RawMaterials and post-doctoral researchers hosted by EIT RawMaterials partners over 12 months in 2017-2018.

The aim of the RawMatCop 2018-2020 programme is to develop skills, expertise, demonstrations and applications at the intersection between Earth observation data, specifically Copernicus data, and the raw materials sector. Moreover, the RawMatCop 2018-2020 programme will share its results and encourage knowledge transfer and skills dissemination both with the partners of EIT RawMaterials but also with other sectors and Innovation Communities.

The 2018-2020 programme covers four key activities:

• RawMatCop Post-Doctoral Research Projects
• RawMatCop Academic Placement Projects with Industry/Authorities
• RawMatCop Lifelong Learning programme – RawMatCop Academy
• RawMatCop Dissemination Event – RawMatCop User Forum 2020

As a result, the EIT RawMaterials would like to announce the RawMatCop 2018-2020 Call for Applications for the next cohort of:

• 2-3 Postdoctoral Research Scholarship Projects, duration 1 year
• 2-3 Academic Placement Projects with Industry/Authorities, duration 1 year

Application Process 

Applications should be e-mailed to EIT RawMaterials.

Application contents, including budget calculation, evaluation process and criteria for assessment, timeline and application template can be found in the Call for Applications.

Scope of the Postdoctoral Research Scholarship projects and the Academic Placements with Industry/Authorities should address one of the following domains of the Copernicus-related data for:

• Raw material prospecting and exploration
• Raw material extraction and mining activities
• Secondary raw material resources

Deadline for applications is 5 July 2019, 12:00 CEST.
