Do you dream of international cooperation or working for a more sustainable future? Did you know that renewable energy sources and electric vehicles require an enormous amount of metals?

The event will be held January 19 at Otaranta Clubroom from 17:00 onwards. EMC is an international Triple-Degree Master’s programme including three different universities. In the degree, you’ll study for example modern mine design, determining life cycles of minerals and improving work safety in mining conditions.
The event is directed towards Bachelor students that are interested in metals and the mining industry. Students, alumni and professors will attend. There will also be food and beverages at the event.
