Many thanks to ArcelorMITTAL for organising and hosting a training event for the CESAREF consortium in Mets, France. The event took place from the 23rd-25th May 2023 and covered aspects of from the RTC3 : Life Cycle Assessment and Sustainability as well as RTC4 : Corrossion training courses. The courses included: 

• CO2 Footprint of process (SIMIS), 
• Continuous casting, 
• LCA of steel, 
• Hydrogen Corrosion, 
• Basics on thermodynamic calculations, 
• CEQCSI : thermodynamic case studies, and, 
• Steel corrosion. 

ArcelorMittal were also kind enough to organise a visit of their pilot caster facility.   

On top of this, a course on creative thinking was given which led to a variety of potentially patentable products being conceived and some heated debates on how best to break up chocolate. The participants were certainly left with a different point of view of problem solving than when they started! 

A music quiz and a guided tour of Metz were also organised during the evenings.  

For a taster of what it is like in ArcelorMITTAL have a look at this video.
