◗◗◗ Scope
AIM, the Italian Society for Metallurgy, has the honor to host once
more the prestigious Electric Steelmaking Conference & Expo,
after the successful events of Florence (1986) and Venice (2002).
The Conference, together with the exhibition, will be held in
Venice at the magnificent Fondazione Cini on 25-27 May 2016.
Nowadays, the fraction of the total world steel production
coming from electric arc furnaces is up to 35% and we witness
a non-stop technical development of the electric arc process
and its auxiliary equipment.
All these trends require a better cooperation of steelmaking operators
in focusing the attention on increase of productivity, decrease of
environmental impact and improvement of steel quality.
Moreover, the coupling of such technology with new plant based
on direct reduction of iron ores make electric furnace an interesting
facility not only for a production route based on steel scrap recycling
but also for a flexible exploitation of mineral resources.
The 11th European Electric Steelmaking Conference & Expo
aims at providing a forum for information transfer of the latest
techniques and applications in electric furnace steelmaking
and at bringing together steel producers, research and
academics active in steelmaking industries, energy production
and plant supply concerns.
AIM is looking forward to welcoming you in the unique
city of Venice!
◗◗◗ Conference venue
The Conference will be held at the Giorgio Cini Foundation,
that is located on the Island of San Giorgio Maggiore in Venice.
(www.cini.it).
◗◗◗ Venice
Venice, “La Serenissima”, holds a mystical aura and is one
of the most enchanting places in the world. Built on 117
small islands in a lagoon, Venice is a unique blend of water,
art and romance with exquisite canals, charming bridges,
magnificent palaces and churches, and world famous
landmarks rising from the water’s surface up to sky. Whether
skimming over a cozy canal on a gondola or strolling around
its “calle”, visiting Venice is a magical experience for everyone.
It is a treasure from the artistic and architectural point of view.
◗◗◗ Language
The official language of the Conference will be English.
