In May 2019, the Scientific and Organization Committees at SAM 13 in Pisa, Italy, awarded The Jean-Sébastien Thomas Prize of 2019 to Halvard Tveit (Elkem) and Leiv Kolbeinsen (NTNU) for the paper entitled “The (love and hate) role of entropy in process metallurgy”. Congratulation to Halvard and Leiv!

The Jean-Sébastien Thomas Prize (JSTP) has been established in tribute to the former Head of the Global R&D Sustainability department who died in December 2014. Jean-Sébastien was an eminent member of the Sustainable Development community, recognized both within ArcelorMittal and among his peers. The Jean-Sébastien Thomas Prize rewards the most innovative paper – relating to methodology, experience or results – presented at the annual Society & Materials (SAM) conference.
