Materials Processing Institute to deliver multiple presentations at EEC 2021


The 12th European Electric Steelmaking Conference (EEC 2021) is a forum at which steelmakers, product specialists, and all other parts of the steel sector supply chain, including the academic community and research and technology organisations, can come together to share information and exchange knowledge on current and future developments across the broad spectrum of electric arc furnace steelmaking and its associated technologies.

EEC 2021 will be delivered as a hybrid event with delegates attending in Sheffield or joining online via a fully interactive virtual conference. The conference is particularly relevant for senior managers, plant operators and graduates involved in the production of steel by the Electric Arc Furnace and all those associated with the steel sector, including academics, researchers, steel users and suppliers of raw materials and equipment.
