RawDTRIP Summer School (2-13 of September 2019)
BACKGROUND
The RawD Trip summer school brings the young people and the experts in the mining field to Cracow – an important mining area of ESEE Region. The summer school offers master and bachelor students a unique opportunity to acquaint themselves with various elements of the Raw Materials value chain: from mining through processing and products use to the production of waste, their recycling and reuse. The summer school is based on copper ore as the basic raw material in high-tech. The gained experience help to promote the students community among various universities and provide the possibility to create interaction with companies of the sector. Moreover, the RawD Trip, in the long run, leads to create the companies map in ESEE countries.
RawD-Trip Summer School runs as the part of KIC Raw Materials Program under the patronage of Faculty o Mining and Geoengineering (AGH University). The leader is EIT RawMaterials - CLC East.
The aim is to focused on practical part aspects of knowledge. Therefore, after theoretical introduction, five days of the summer school will take place in Lower Silesia – a significant mining region. The leading theme of the pilot edition is COPPER. During the summer school there will be a chance to visit places at various stages of copper production - in plants owned by KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. - from mining excavations to the smelter and post-flotation tailings pond, up to the places where they were reclaimed and revitalized. In the second week, in Krakow will be an opportunity to get acquainted with copper products and aspects of copper waste management.
In addition, the possibilities of increasing copper recovery from wastes would be consider and also the possibility of using new business models in the metal trade, and how to limit the adverse impact of metals on the environment. An important aspect of the school will be examining business issues.
The main recruitment criteria are: completed semester of studies (the higher the better), the average of all semesters, organizational and publishing activity (including activities in scientific circles, lectures at student sessions), as well as a cover letter in which candidates will present motivation for participation in the summer school, regarding raw materials.

RawDTRIP - Summer School
What is it?
RawD Trip is a travelling summer school where accepted master students coming from studies of the raw material value chain all over from Eastern and Southern Eastern Europe (ESEE region) bring together and visiting industrial sites of one selected raw material (in 2019 its copper) while studying about its importance and business and market relevance, technical topics and solving industry challenges together. RawD Trip students will learn specific leadership skills and has the opportunity to become EIT RawMaterials Alumni
Who is it for?
If you are an enrolled (active) master student at any of the universities located in the RIS regions* (Especially in the ESEE region) and you are citizen of one of these countries, studying in geology, mining, mineral processing, metallurgy, recycling, environmental sciences, material sciences related Master courses you are entitled to apply.
You are the right candidate if you have good grades, open minded and eager to learn more about hte copper value chain and its economic inportance and relevance while would like to develop leadership skils and meet fellow students all over europe. Students applications will be evaluated by a selection committee based on the following criteria:
