The SusCritMat summer school will take place in beautiful Kings College, Cambridge. Besides learning about different aspects of the sustainable management of critical raw materials, we will discuss didactic aspects and how to teach the modules in other curricula. Teaching material for further use is included.

Each of the three School days will have their own focus:

Day 1: Introduction to criticality (including criticality assessment, global resource supply chains, geopolitical factors, and economics of metals)
Day 2: Analysis of criticality (including material flows, scenario planning, and life cycle assessment)
Day 3: Solutions (including responsible sourcing, circularity indicators, circular product design, and good practice examples)
