About the Workshop
The 1st TransZeroWaste Scientific Workshop will bring together partners to discuss breakthrough technologies for sustainable steelmaking. The event aims to present scientific results, testing progress, and insights from the TransZeroWaste (TZW) project to date, fostering dialogue between research, industry, and policy stakeholders.
Participants will gain a deeper understanding of key developments in the transformation of the iron and steel industry, innovative zero-waste technologies, and the integration of sustainability indicators into advanced decision-support tools.
This hybrid event will be of particular interest to researchers, industry professionals, policy makers, and members of the scientific community engaged in low-CO₂ and circular steelmaking.
