Objectives

The objective of the dissemination project is to revisit the most important European projects related to the formation of cracks in continuous casting carried out in the last two and a half decades up to the project running period. The basic idea is that an action of dissemination and valorisation of the most important results, based on an integrated critical analysis of more than 50 funded projects, is useful to valorise, distribute and promote the exploitation of the results.
Also, this action is a necessary step for preparing and communicating a roadmap for future research activities and priorities, with the final aim of giving an input to the definition of future priorities of the RFCS research programme).
Finally, the project intends to directly transfer the obtained objectives to the stakeholders of the steel sector, in particular for what concerns industry on one side, and, on the other side, the main players, starting from the European Commission, in the definition of the future objectives of the funded research programs.
