New course: Ethics in the Raw Material Sector
In the summer semester 2025, the subject "Ethics in the Raw Material Sector" will be taught as an independent module for the first time. It is a course offered by BHT Berlin as part of the interdisciplinary Studium generale.
In addition to raising awareness among students from various engineering disciplines, the materials developed to date will also be critically examined with regard to their use in teaching.
Fundamental ethical issues in mining are also to be applied and reflected upon, particularly with regard to the case studies carried out in the project.
Conflicts of interest in mining
In an innovative, international teaching format focusing on “Conflicts of interest in mining”, students from BHT and the International University Berlin discuss ethical conflicts and dilemmas in mining.
Sören E. Schuster (BHT, 3rd from left) provides the theoretical background; Christian Masurenko (ECTerra, 5th from left) shares his extensive practical experience using concrete case studies.
Further training for ethical competence in practice
In a pilot event, Sophie Charlotte Missall is testing selected parts of a training and further education concept she has developed in a course with BHT students.
The program is generally aimed at working engineers in the mining sector.
It is the subject of Sophies Master's thesis in the Management & Consultiung study program at BHT.
