Federation of European Mineral Programs (FEMP) is a (legal) non-profit organisation (Stitching) founded by Hans de Ruiter in which leading mineral resource companies participate together with leading European Universities to support high level education in Europe for th future leaders in the mining and related raw materials processing industry.
The Federation is the co-ordinating body for matters regarding education and research covering all aspects of Mineral Engineering in a large part of Europe.
Currently, the focus is on the European Mining Course (EMC) which is a MSc. triple degree program.
The participating universities are: RWTH Aachen University (Germany), Aalto University (Finland), Montanuniversität Leoben (Austria) and TU Delft (Netherlands).
The programs are developed for the students of these universities, however open to all other suitable European or International Masters students. Since the start in 1996 over 800 students participated in the programs. One of the objectives of FEMP is to assist students financially with the extra cost, when being abroad. In order to be able to subsidise the students for these extra costs FEMP receives annual contributions from its members. Further information can be found at the website of FEMP

Mining in the engineering discipline is the extraction of minerals from underneath, open pit, above or on the ground. Mining engineering is associated with many other disciplines, such as mineral processing, exploration, excavation, geology, and metallurgy, geotechnical engineering and surveying. A mining engineer may manage any phase of mining operations, from exploration and discovery of the mineral resources, through feasibility study, mine design, development of plans, production and operations to mine closure.

Saint Petersburg Mining University, is Russia's oldest technical university, and one of the oldest technical colleges in Europe. It was founded on October 21, 1773, by Empress Catherine the Great, who realised an idea proposed by Peter the Great and Mikhail Lomonosov for training engineers for the mining and metals industries. Having a strong engineering profession was seen by many Russian rulers as a vital means of maintaining Russia's status as a great power. As historian Alfred J. Rieber wrote, "The marriage of technology and central state power had a natural attraction for Peter the Great and his successors, particularly Paul I, Alexander I, and Nicholas I". All three had had a military education and seen the achievements of the engineers of revolutionary and imperial France, who had reconstructed the great highways, unified the waterways and erected buildings throughout Europe in a more lasting tribute to the French than all of Napoleon's victories.
