Prizes

Institute

Since 2001, RWTH Aachen University presents an award for outstanding achievements in teaching and learning. In 2003, the teaching award was given to the team delivering the MSc European Mining Course / European Minerals and Environmental Course. In 2018, the very same MSc European Mining Course has received the EIT label from the European Institute of Innovation and Technology Raw Materials. This label recognises education programmes that provide students with an outstanding foundation for a future career through industry-focused programmes, which enable collaboration with top specialists in the field from academia, research and industry.
