19th Freiberg Colloquium of Young Researchers:
Responsible Consumption and Production in the Use of the Earth's Resources
2nd to the 6th of June, 2025 | TU Bergakademie Freiberg, Germany
- Upcoming events
Join us in Freiberg, Germany, from June 2–6, 2025, for the 19th Freiberg Colloquium of Young Researchers, presented by EURECA-PRO. This year’s focus: “Responsible Consumption and Production in the Use of the Earth’s Resources.” This event brings together young researchers to explore social, environmental, economic, and engineering sciences related to resource management, aligning with Sustainable Development Goal 12.
Key topics include:
- Responsible resource management
- Sustainable processing of raw materials
- Economic implications of sustainability
- Sustainability management tools
- The role of consumption in societal change
Why is attending the colloquium interesting for young scientists?
Participants are invited to take part in a comprehensive programme with a training course on excellence research for Sustainability and excursions to institutions and companies in a region, which is not only historically known for its mining, but also for its high-levelled innovative strength. Networks emerge not only through academic discourse, but also through shared impressions, so social events round off the picture. To be better prepared, we offer non-native speakers a German crash course. However, the main language is English.
The Young Researchers Colloquium is embedded in the “Berg- und Hüttenmännische Tage” (BHT 2025) at TU Bergakademie Freiberg. In case of interest, there will be the opportunity to attend further presentations. Central topics of the BHT will be published in advance here: BHT – Freiberger Universitätsforum | TU Bergakademie Freiberg
Participation in the colloquium is free of charge for all participants.
Financial support can be obtained for travel and accommodation through your local ERASMUS office.
We look forward to meeting you at the Young Researchers Colloquium at TU Bergakademie Freiberg!
