    Goals / Remit

    The European Steel Technology Platform is one of the European Technology Platform,following the chart defined by the European Commission for 2020 ETPs, and has a wide panel of stakeholders(academia,steel industry,research centers, MS representatives,European Commission,etc).We have a living Strategic Research Agenda(SRA)and several dedicated Focus Groups for the SRA implementation. Our agenda aims at promoting a sustainable steel production and developing steel solutions in line with European societal challenges.ESTEP is an AISBL,led by the General Assembly, a Board of Directors and a Steering Group. ESTEP is also facilitating the Clean Steel Partnership(CSP), driven by the European steel industry. The CSP is a co-programmed partnership in Horizon Europe. The CSP will support the EU 2050 decarbonisation strategy by developing and testing at large scale technologies that enable steel production to become climate neutral by avoiding and significantly reducing its CO2 emissions.

    Meetings

    3 meetings found. Download meetings

    The list below covers meetings with Commissioners/Cabinet members/Directors-general (high-level) Commission meetings published December 2014 to December 2024, and the meetings of Commissioners/Cabinet members/Directors-general and officials holding "management functions" in the Commission published since 1 January 2025. Other lobby meetings with lower-level staff may well have taken place, but the Commission doesn't proactively publish information about these meetings. All information below comes from the Commission and not from the registrant.

    1 July 2024: We have noted that some meetings are appearing in duplicate, ie. some meetings seem to be listed twice. This seems to be because the Commission changes some element of a meeting data after the meeting has first been listed, which causes LobbyFacts to register it as a new meeting. We are investigating further.
