An overview of CRM and their importance for industry 4.0 and sustainability
Critical raw materials (CRMs) and critical components such as semiconductors are important for reaching the goals in Agenda 2030.
This module is focusing on CRM and components, important for modern technology and for society development. We will demonstrate and show different CRM and their user areas, scouring possibilities and geographical factors.
You will learn why they are seen as critical and how to think when designing products using CRMs. In the module geopolitical aspects and ethical issues as well as value chain challenges will be discussed to further understand the complexity of these materials and components. You will also learn more about policies and technology that are used to overcome several of the issues with CRMs.
The learning module is a mixture of self-study with recorded lectures and recommended reading as a support, quizzes, webinars for joint discussions and a module assignment investigating a product or components exposure to critical materials.
