RawMatCop Academy
The home of Copernicus for
Raw Materials courses
About RawMatCop Academy
The RawMatCop Academy offers practical, hands-on courses in Copernicus for Raw Materials. Participants are trained to unlock the power of Copernicus for companies, organisations, and research institutions along the entire life-cycle of raw materials.
Course participants will work directly with Copernicus Sentinel satellite data and learn how to apply it in the workplace for the improvement of:
- Securing the primary and secondary mineral and material resources needed to transition to a sustainable and circular economy
- Monitoring environmental impact and increasing safety
About Copernicus
Copernicus is the European Union’s Earth Observation Programme, looking at our planet and its environment for the ultimate benefit of all.
With the Copernicus programme, satellite data from the ‘Sentinels’ is freely available with a high revisit time. This enables a deeper understanding of areas of interest along the entire life-cycle of raw materials in a consistently up-to-date and stand-alone manner. In this way, Earth Observation (EO) methods contribute to a safe and sustainable supply of mineral resources through improving efficiency of operations and monitoring capabilities of major aspects in the materials value chain such as exploration efficiency, exploitation safety, and waste tracking of mineral resources.
