The XXXII. International Conference MODERN METALLURGY will take place at the Hotel Sepetná from 24 to 26 September 2025. This prestigious meeting, which is organized by the Department of Metallurgical Technologies, Faculty of Materials Science and Technology VŠB-TUO in cooperation with partner universities and research centres (Politechnika Śląska, Technical University of Košice and Research and Innovation and Technology Centre, n.o., Slovakia), aims to create a platform for the presentation of the latest findings and trends in science and technical development in the field of metallurgy.
The conference is traditionally an important meeting of experts from scientific and research institutions as well as representatives of industrial practice on an international level. Participants will be able to learn about the latest trends in iron and steel production as well as other attractive areas related to energy transformation in industry and the non-ferrous and non-metallic materials sectors. This year's edition is again expanded to include the current topics of waste treatment and recycling and decarbonisation of the metallurgical industry.
Connecting science and practice
In addition to a high level of expertise, the MODERN METALLURGY 2025 conference will offer a unique platform for connecting the scientific community with professional practice. New results of research, development, production and use of raw material inputs, iron, steel, ferroalloys and refractories will be presented in the specialist sections, which continue the tradition of previous editions, with an emphasis on the ecological aspects of production.
Other key areas of interest at the conference include energy transformation in industry, non-ferrous and non-metallic materials, metallurgical process simulation and foundry. The expansion of the programme to include topics such as waste treatment and recycling and decarbonisation of the metals industry reflects the current global challenges and the need for a more sustainable industry.
Application fields of conference
- Production of iron and steel
- Nonferrous and non-metallic materials
- Processing of metal materials (foundry, forming, additive technologies and more)
- Process simulation and modelling
- Recycling of waste materials and LCA
- Energy changes in industry
- Decarbonisation of metallurgical processes, their planning and strategies
The MODERN METALLURGY 2025 conference is thus a key event for all those who want to join the debate on the future of metallurgy and contribute to innovation in this dynamic industry.
