The SUSTAIN Project, launched in April 2019 is a multi-university, multi-disciplinary project sponsored by EPSRC, Welsh Government and the UK Steel Industry. The ambition of the SUSTAIN project is to ensure a sustainable, carbon neutral future for the UK's most CO2 intensive industry and its supply chain, through recycling and sharing energy and resources far more effectively.

The UK Steel Industry is entering an exciting new phase of its turbulent history; one in which research and innovation will play a vital role in delivering sustainable and successful businesses.

SUSTAIN’s engagement event is creating a platform to enable additional institutions and industrial partners to join the project and apply for £1M funding through the Research Expansion Hub.

We hope you will join us and find out how you can be involved.
