Detailed program
Wednesday 16th October 2024
10 H 00 – 12 H 15 / 13 H 30 – 18 H 15
Welcome to our International workshop on Innovative and Sustainable Metallurgy. While this morning session will essentially recall the genesis and evolution of LabEx DAMAS, the afternoon scientific session will concentrate on “Alloy design and microstructure optimisation”. Particular emphasis will be drawn on new alloy formulation in the framework of recyclability as well as microstructure evolution via liquid and solid states transformation.
Thursday 17th October 2024
8 H15 – 12 H15 / 14 H 00 – 18 H 25
The sessions today concentrate on multiscale advanced characterization and modelling of materials. Cutting edge microstructure characterization by synchrotron as well as transmission and scanning electron microscopies will be the focus of the morning session. In the afternoon, computers and modelling will be “celebrated” with special attention to recent advances in cross-scale modelling and artificial intelligence. Please, do not leave to early, as banquet will be served at the abbey.
Friday 18th October 2024
8 H15 – 12 H 15 / 13 H 30 – 17 H 30
Materials processing lies at the heart of metallurgy and links our research to applications. The morning session concentrates on innovative techniques in metal processing such as additive manufacturing, severe plastic deformation and new surface modifications. The afternoon session concentrates on new scientific challenges in metallurgy to be addressed for a sustainable society. Special emphasis will be on the decarbonation of the steelmaking industry and the use, transportation and storage of hydrogen.
Our International LabEx DAMAS workshop.
The aim of this international workshop is twofold: (i) highlight some interesting innovations and international collaborations made in the framework of Labex DAMAS and (ii) focus on recent developments in which the of the scientists of University of Lorraine are now involved in terms of sustainable metallurgy.
To this end, for each selected topic, internationally recognised leaders as well as doctors and post-doctoral scientists funded by LabEx DAMAS - who are now still involved is research as academics or within industries - have been invited.
We do hope that this gathering will help to tighten existing links and forge new multidisciplinary collaborations to target societal transitions.
Venue
Between Metz and Nancy, Prémontrés Abbey is nestled in the centre of the town of Pont-à-Mousson, just a few steps from the shops, restaurants and artisans of the nice “Place Duroc” and the Saint Martin district.
It is only 15 min by taxi from Lorraine TGV train station (Fast trains coming from Paris). It is also at walking distance from Pont à Mousson railway station by several daily trains departing from Metz or Nancy.
MapHosting
For our international guests, rooms have been reserved within the prestigious and magnificent monastic architectural building of the Prémontrés Abbey for 3/4 nights.
