The initiatives of FEMP are enthusiastically supported by the industry. More than 30 companies involved directly or indirectly in the mining and mineral business sponsor the students participating in the EMC and EMREC. They host company visits as well as offer internships and work placements. FEMP is a strong link between industry and the participating universities.

The involvement of industry with the program stimulates interaction and improves the quality of the program. The importance of opportunities for the students to carry out an internship is quite evident to the industry. It is not important for just the students, but also for the companies themselves. It is an ideal opportunity to spot potential candidates for positions in the company. The participating companies can be found below.
