At the Institute for Non-Ferrous Metallurgy and Ultra-Pure Materials (INEMET), the focus is on sustainable and innovative processes that rethink existing production workflows and the handling of so-called waste products in line with the principles of the circular economy and the zero-waste philosophy. We are characterised by a young and dedicated team led by Prof. Dr.-Ing. Alexandros Charitos, which is working together towards a greener future and a revolution in non-ferrous metallurgy. Together, in working groups and across a wide variety of projects, we are further developing existing processes within pyro- and hydrometallurgy as well as the semiconductor industry.

It is important to us to support students from an early stage and to introduce them to the enormous potential and diversity of non-ferrous metallurgy. Through our national and international contacts, as well as our strong relationships with various companies, we offer a wide range of opportunities from which our students in particular benefit. They can gain experience in various fields of work whilst still studying and, together with us, break new ground in a friendly atmosphere.
