| Abstract Scope |
In pyrometallurgical process management prompt responsiveness is key. This must be done while maintaining a safe work environment and compliance with environmental regulations. Currently, there is no training focused on these aspects of a pyrometallurgical facility. Thus, it is difficult for new hires with limited understanding to work safely and efficiently in industrial conditions. For this reason, the EIT RawMaterials-funded education project SPYRO (Share skills and good practices in PYROmetallugy) aims to bridge the gap between theory and the actual operation of industrial facilities in collaboration with industrial experts from Eramet, Elkem and MPI. SPYRO is an interactive training programme designed especially for new employees in the field of pyrometallurgical process management utilizing nine e-learning modules and one virtual reality module. Trainees (researchers, engineers, technicians and PhDs) will benefit from an up-to-date digital front door to the “pyrometallurgical environment”. |
