Friends of GMIT

Educating a new generation of engineers in Mongolia and strengthening applied research and development in close cooperation with Mongolia’s industry – these are the main aims of the German-Mongolian Institute for Resources and Technology (GMIT).


Promoting engineering excellence in Mongolia:
“Friends of GMIT” was founded in 2015 to support and encourage the educational and scientific objectives of GMIT and support their students to become empowered to meet the challenges of Mongolia’s economy and today’s society. To achieve this, our association strives to generate additional funding for GMIT and establishes an opportunity for open dialogue with industry and civil society.
 
 
Boosting Young Talent:
The “Friends of GMIT” grants scholarships for gifted students. In particular we focus on gifted students from middle class and poorer backgrounds. This financial support allows them to perform and develop without being burdened with financial stress.

 
Supporting Scientific Research:
Applied research, innovation and successful technology transfer are all important for the Mongolian economy. We foster the careers of our young GMIT scientists by promoting research, as well as congress and symposia participation.

 
Awarding Excellence:
We acknowledge, honor, and award outstanding achievements of GMIT students and staff.
