The course will be divided in 4 modules of 4 hours (09:00-13:00 CET) on the 21, 23, 28 and 30 November 2023  moderated and instructed online.

Unlock the power of Copernicus’ data for a secure, sustainable raw materials industry

The Copernicus Hub provides access to complete, free and open access data from all Sentinel satellites with new features for visualization and data processing in various fields. Innovative breakthroughs using Copernicus data are a key tool in the enhancement of geological research and mineral exploration, mine safety, and environmental sustainability within the raw materials sector.

RawMatCop is currently the only, online course in Europe providing training in how to apply the Copernicus satellite’s earth observation data to the raw materials sector.

You will have the unique opportunity to apply the Copernicus open data to real problems in mineral exploration and mining operations including safety, environmental compliance, and more. Experts in Earth Observation will train you in how to apply this data for the improvement of critical raw materials issues such as:

• Securing the primary and secondary mineral and material resources needed to transition to a sustainable and circular economy.
• Monitoring environmental impact and increasing safety.

This all contributes to a more sustainable supply of mineral resources.

Course Details

RawMatCop Academy trainers are experts in mineral exploration, geophysical methods, and satellite data working in academia, research centres and consultancy. As a participant, you will receive exclusive access to the course material, including practical exercises and videos.

The four day, online programme is particularly beneficial for professionals with a strong background in the raw materials value chain and little to no knowledge of Earth Observation.

The RawMatCop Academy course is certified. You will receive a certificate on completion of the four modules.

The course has been developed by EIT RawMaterials, and partners, with financial support from the European Commission’s Directorate-General for Internal Market, Industry, Entrepreneurship and SMEs (DG GROW).

Course Benefits for Raw Materials Professionals and Organisations

The 4-day, online RawMatCop Academy courseaims at preparing raw materials professionals in the utilization of remote sensing data for industrial applications, environmental monitoring, and research. The diversity with respect to applications of remote sensing data in combination with timeless data supply and complete land coverage of Sentinel data provide the end-users with new possibilities. The data are important contributions to reach the goal of the European Union Critical Raw Materials Act.

You will learn how to make the most of Copernicus open data to:

• Apply to real problems in mineral exploration and mining operations
• Generate land surface cover maps to more efficiently secure mineral and material resources
• Monitor environmental impact such as pollution in water and sensitive biological sites to meet regulatory requirements
• Increase safety
• Contribute to a more sustainable supply of mineral resources necessary for the transition to a green and circular economy

Learning how to use Copernicus data can contribute to business growth and better bottomlines, as it will lead to:

• A concrete understanding of gaps and possible business opportunities in this field
• Preliminary analysis before onsite visits on remote or unsafe lands
• Optimised sample collection, and therefore less cost of field work
• Less ground disturbance with more information from difficult or inaccessible locations
• Reducing the area of interest (lower costs for example for mineral exploration)
• Faster data access (mapping before field visits) from the areas of interest

Participants will moreover get to meet other professionals and experts who are transforming the sector.

Who should apply

The course is particularly beneficial for entrepreneurs, start-ups, and industry professionals from the exploration, mining, and processing sectors. If you are looking for innovative techniques to monitor and manage raw materials in your organisation then the RawMatCop Academy is for you!

We also welcome applications from:

• Geoscientists
• Development and environmental experts
• Geologists
• Researchers, Masters, and Doctoral students working in the raw materials sector
• Remote sensing practitioners interested in learning raw materials applications
