THE FUTURE OF METALLURGY DISCUSSED AT KarIU

On November 10, on the occasion of the World Science Day for Peace and Development, Karaganda Industrial University hosted a KarIU Science Talks meeting. The topic focused on direct iron reduction, one of the promising areas of modern metallurgy.

The event brought together KarIU faculty members and research staff, specialists from the Z. Abishev Chemical and Metallurgical Institute, as well as students from schools in Temirtau.

Participants discussed how new technologies can transform metallurgical production. Particular attention was paid to direct iron reduction methods, improving the energy efficiency of enterprises, and reducing the environmental impact of industry. The discussion also covered scientific developments that make it possible to produce metal with lower energy consumption and reduce carbon emissions.

The Science Talks format made it possible to explain complex industrial processes in clear and accessible language. For school students, the meeting was an opportunity to learn more about the work of scientists and engineers, explore metallurgical science, and discover the challenges researchers are addressing today.

Such meetings help young people gain a new perspective on technical professions. Modern metallurgy is connected not only with production but also with ecology, energy, digital technologies, and the search for safer solutions for industry.

The event marked another step towards strengthening cooperation between the university, research organizations, and the city's schools. It demonstrated that science can be accessible, engaging, and directly connected to the industrial future of Temirtau.
