MRE RWTH

The Institute of Mineral Resources Engineering emerged in 2015 from the mining institutes BBK1 and BBK3. Mining Engineering was established in 1880 as one of the first institutes at RWTH Aachen University.

According to our motto “Knowledge to Resource the Future”, the MRE today educates mineral resources engineers and participates in inter- and multidisciplinary research on international level. Thus, MRE faces the complex challenges of a sustainable supply with mineral commodities by creative approaches in both research and education.

The circle of our employers, customers and partners comprises mainly national and international research institutions, as well as private enterprise companies. Use our new website to learn more about excellent research, interdisciplinary educational offers and tailored services.
