ALCHIMIA Webinar – Advancing Digital Innovation for the Steel Sector

ALCHIMIA Webinar – Advancing Digital Innovation for the Steel Sector

The ALCHIMIA Webinar will showcase how Artificial Intelligence and advanced data-driven methods are transforming the steel sector, supporting its path toward digitalization, efficiency, and sustainability.

The session will highlight the key exploitable results of the ALCHIMIA project, including training materials and industrial demonstrations that can be leveraged by Digital Innovation Hubs (DIHs), SMEs, and research actors to replicate or extend the project’s achievements.

Participants will learn about Federated, Continual, and Transfer Learning applications, AI-based process optimization, and Human–AI collaboration in real industrial environments. The event will close with an open discussion on collaboration opportunities, integration with the AI-on-Demand Platform, and relevant funding calls to ensure the long-term sustainability and impact of ALCHIMIA’s outcomes.
