description The deficit of graduates working in the core raw materials sectors will significantly impact raw materials organizations in European RIS regions. The RIS Internship programme aims to improve professional opportunities for RIS raw materials students, familiarize the future young professionals with the work environment and real-life challenges, and trigger their intrinsic interest for the development of a future career in the sector. The overall objectives of the programme are to increase the students’ entrepreneurial and business skills, boost the employment of the RM graduates within the hosting organizations, and leverage the regional brain drain. Eligible students and organizations are coming from core raw materials professions: mining, geosciences and geotechnology, geosciences, material science, extractive waste management, and metallurgy and recycling, all belonging to the STEM area. The territorial coverage includes European RIS countries: Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Greece, Hungary, Italy (southern part) Latvia, Lithuania, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Turkey, and Ukraine. The programme was implemented via the recorded pretraining webinars of students and supervisors, the development of an RIS Internship guide for successful RIS Internship implementation, and an on-line matchmaking platform, making it structured and sustainable with minimum future investment.
