Westminster International University in Tashkent has been selected to participate in the TiBeRIUM (Titanium and Beryllium for European Resilience and Innovative Utilization of Minerals) project under the European Union’s Horizon Europe programme (2021–2027). This marks Uzbekistan’s first Horizon Europe project and WIUT’s first Horizon Europe project win.
TiBeRIUM aims to strengthen sustainable supply chains for Critical Raw Materials (CRMs) through the development and implementation of advanced and environmentally responsible processing technologies. The project consortium brings together 25 partners from Europe, Kazakhstan, and Uzbekistan, and is coordinated by the Freiberg University of Mining and Technology (Germany). The project will conduct a comprehensive study of titanium and beryllium resources in Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan, two minerals recognised by the European Union as Critical Raw Materials due to their strategic importance for resilience, green technologies, industrial sustainability, and technological sovereignty.
The participating partners from Uzbekistan include UzTMK, the University of Geology, and WIUT. The project coordinator from WIUT is Dr Alisher Pulatov. WIUT’s participation in TiBeRIUM reflects its commitment to international research collaboration, innovation-driven development, and strengthening Uzbekistan’s engagement in high-impact global research and development initiatives.
