An international seminar is organized by the HydroMetEC team on 8th November 2021, which is hosted by Aalto University.

The HydroMetEC 2021 seminar is about upscaling of hydrometallurgical processes in Europe for metals production and recycling.

The following areas will be covered during the event through the recent developments in various projects:

• Selected hydrometallurgical processes for sustainable development
• Process simulation and control
• Economy of processes
• Material flow and circular economy

Attending to the HydroMetEC seminar is included to the participating fee of IPMS2021. Everyone selecting "Yes” to the question “Are you attending to HydroMetEC International seminar course on Monday 8th November” in the registration form, will get a ZOOM link. Moreover, all conference participants are also warmly welcome to physically attend to the HydroMetEC Seminar in Dipoli on Monday 8th November without pre-registration (given the limits of the seminar room size), and making signing in physically onsite.
