Every second year the European Metallurgical Conference EMC is celebrated as an international conference and meeting for metallurgists and engineers from the non-ferrous industry and research institutes in Europe. In former conferences delegates from about 50 countries from five continents joint the meeting, presenting papers, posters and discussing actual and most relevant topics during the conference.

The focus of EMC 2019 is dedicated to the interaction of technology, process chains and sustainability. To bring ecology and economy together was a main focus for the last decades. Nowadays the question of continuing improvement with increasing sustainability is the challenge for tomorrow.

EMC 2019, the most important networking conference on non-ferrous metals in Europe, is held in Düsseldorf. It will point out the whole chain of non-ferrous metallurgy, including process technology, analytical aspects and even socio-economic questions of today and tomorrow.

The conference is organized and held by the invitation of GDMB, Society of Metallurgists and Miners, and is particularly directed to companies, institutes, metal producers, plant manufactures, equipment suppliers and service providers active in the field of non-ferrous metallurgy all over the world.
