Description

Taking place in Mönchengladbach and online, the conference will showcase breakthrough RFCS project results and explore how they accelerate the green transition of Europe’s steel sector.
The programme features two focused sessions:
- Low to Zero Emission Iron and Steel Production
- Closing the Loop: Raw Materials, Circularity and Industrial Symbiosis
Participants will discover the latest advances in energy efficiency, electrification, hydrogen-based steelmaking, and innovative scrap recycling. Beyond technical insights, the event offers a platform for dialogue between project experts, researchers, and policymakers on how EU research supports industrial transformation.
The event underlines why continued RFCS investments in research and innovation, such as the annual calls are vital for Europe’s competitiveness, sustainability, and leadership in steel.
