Project duration: 1 January 2016 – 31 December 2018
Objective
PilotMet is initially based on Metnet EIP Commitment with goals to incorporate this commitment into EIT RawMaterials which will both accelerate the establishment of the network and expand to other partners. The main objective of the project is to strengthen the competitiveness of the European mining and metallurgical industries by providing an overall solution for development, validation and upscaling of processes through pilot scale testing, employing the combined competences and equipment of the independent and collaborative network.
The solution (technology)
The main activities of the project are to map competences and equipment of the network and detect gaps based on input from a group of industrial end-users. This will result in a joint offer for piloting that will efficiently be marketed to target audience, the European mining and metallurgical industry. The project impact will effectively minimise the technical and financial risks for up-scaling and bring new processes to market fast and cost efficiently.
