Symposium Programme Confirmed
The full speaker programme and poster display has now been confirmed for the 5th Postgraduate Research Symposium on Ferrous Metallurgy.
The symposium showcases the best of UK metallurgical research, provides inspiration to academics and students to engage in the research challenges of the steel industry and enables industry professionals and academics to form strong and lasting networks. Now in it's 5th year the symposium is centred around a core programme of postgraduate research presentations, with a poster exhibition, keynote speech and industrial exhibition.
For the first time this year, the symposium includes the awarding of medals and prizes from the Iron & Steel Group of IOM3. This includes the prestigious annual Bessemer Lecture to be given by John Ferriola, former Chairman, CEO and President of Nucor, USA.
Date: Tuesday 22nd February 2022
Time: 09:30 - 18:30 GMT
Venue: Armourers' Hall, London
