THE OBJECTIVES OF THE EIT
Its aim is to boost the innovation process:
from idea to product
from lab to market
from student to entrepreneur
in areas of high societal need through its Knowledge and
Innovation Communities (KICs).

Current and new KICs
The EIT designated its three first KICs in December 2009:Climate KIC (Climate Change)EIT ICT Labs (Information and Communication Technologies)KIC InnoEnergy (Sustainable Energy)
Calls for 5 new KICs will be launched as follows:2014 : healthy living and active ageing and raw materials;2016: food4future and added value manufacturing2018: urban mobility

Why KIC on Raw Materials*
Modern society is totally dependent upon access to raw materials.Access to affordable materials is essential for the effectivefunctioning of the EU economy, whilst achieving a resourceefficient economy that meets the needs of a growing populationwithin the ecological limits of a finite planetKIC suitable tool to introduce to the markets technologiesimproving the sustainability of the whole product lifecycleKIC approach responds to the requirement of interdisciplinary workinvolving several areas of knowledge, such as geology, economics,environmental sciences, chemistry, mechanics and multipleindustrial areas (construction, automotive, aerospace, machineryand equipment, and renewable energies)

What could KIC on RawMaterials deliver?
1119/11/2013
KIC on Raw Materials should*:
foster a knowledge hub and centre of expertise on academic,technical and practical education and research in sustainable surface,subsurface and deep-sea mining, material management, recyclingtechnologies, material substitution and geopolitical trade in rawmaterials,trigger the expansion of existing markets and creation of new ones,namely in the areas of sustainable extraction and processing, materialsmanagement, recycling technologies, and materials substitution,boost technical innovation to develop a host of complementarytechnologies that could change the shape of traditional mineral and rawmaterial value chains,develop innovative, cost-effective adaptation and risk preventionmeasures for particularly sensitive habitats, such as the Arctic.

Role of mineral raw materials for Finnish economy
Mineral raw materials play an important role for an Finnish economyMining sector
Turnover now 1,16 billion €, expected to growth 2,5 billion €up to 2015
Metal productionTurnover in Finland 10,8 billion €Part of Finnish export is 14% (7,9 billion €)
Machines and vehicle productionTurnover in Finland 18.5 billion €Share of export is 14,5 % (9,4 billion €)
Role of minerals is very strong through the whole value chainRole of material management and design is essential
