13-14 January SFI Metal Production and IME, RWTH Aachen, organized a joint seminar entitled “The Versatile SAF”.

The program included presentations from both academic and industrial partners in the SFI focusing primarily on production and modelling of primary production of metals using SAF Technology. Presentations from Aachen focused on various applications of SAF technology in processing of exotic materials such as sea nodules and valorization of secondary materials such as incineration bottom ash and slags from metal production.

The seminar was well attended with over 30 participants. RWTH Aachen is a strategic partner for collaboration in both EU projects and student exchange.
