The Erasmus Mundus Joint Masters study program “International Master in Technology and Management for Circular Economy” (IMATEC) is oriented on the emerging area of circular economy and bio-economy. 

The two-year Master’s multiple degree program offers high-quality vocational education, combining competencies in technology, entrepreneurship, management, planning, science, and research, all focused on circular economy.

Three European universities University of Chemistry and Technology Prague (Prague, Czech Republic), University of Oviedo (Oviedo, Spain), and Åbo Akademi University (Turku, Finland) joined to form the Erasmus Mundus consortium supported by 38 associated partners representing SMEs, large companies, NGOs, and universities that play important roles in the curriculum.

Students will be trained in advanced technologies for sustainable use of natural resources, life cycle assessment of these technologies, as well as management and legal and administrative aspects of the circular economy. They will also gain an overview of the latest trends in the research and development of new technologies.

Students will choose their major study track and one additional study area among (1) Technology, (2) Policy and Management, or (3) – Science. The graduates will be qualified for positions in technological companies (e.g. technology suppliers, consultants, or utilities), policymaking bodies (e.g. governmental agencies or NGOs), or R&D (academia or private sector). They will also acquire presentation and managerial skills, teamwork ability, work with information resources, and communication with professionals and the public.
