Padua Università degli Studi

Udine Università degli Studi

Bologna Università degli Studi

Turin Politecnico di Torino

Milan Politecnico di Milano

Brescia Università degli Studi

The only training course supported also by the presence of the experimental laboratories is the one at Politecnico di Milano also thanks to the support of the Falck Fund instituted on 1961-1962 at Politecnico di Milano (€3.000.000).

Other Training Tools• CoESi (Partnership between Politecnico di Milano and Tenaris

Dalmine which) was active since 2000 to 2004 and it has erogated 10 scholarship support for Ph.D. dedicated to steelmaking items.

• 5 Ph.D. Scholarship supported by:– 2 Siemens Voest Alpine (Steel Forming)– 1 Techint (Steelmaking Slag Recycling)– 1 Feralpi (Improvement in the energy efficiency of EAF)– 1 Riva Group (Solidification of billet in continuous casting)– …for the next year 1 Marcegaglia, 1 AST Arvedi, 1 Prosimet, 1

CSM• Master in Steelmaking through a cooperative collaboration

among Politecnico di Milano, Università degli Studi di Pisa, Lucchini-Severstal

Future up-dating of the handbooks• Best integration about the following items:

– Thermodynamics and Kynetics of Steelmaking– Solidification of the Steel– Principles for the Designing and Regulation of the

Steelmaking Plants– Plastic Deformation of Steels

• Possibility to implement on-line facilities:– A cooperation among POLIMI – Siderweb – Università degli

Studi di Brescia has already been performed and structured on three main items:

• Physical Metallurgy of steels• Steelmaking• Steel Applications

……but a better modulation of the items and of the didactic forms needs to be implemented


18

Role of AIM in collaboration with the university institutions

• The cultural institutions active in the metallurgy field play an important role of joining between industry and academies;

• realization of courses related to the permanent up-dating of the people operating in manufacturing;

• promotion of the employment possibilities among the students which stimulate them to follow the metallurgical training courses.

• …an interesting experience about the on-line training has been led by AIM at an international level as coordinator of METRO (Metallurgical Training On-Line) funded by EU.
