Social Acceptance in the European Raw Materials Sector Workshop
SCALE will be present and presenting at the Cluster event for ongoing projects funded by HORIZON 2020 on Social Licence to Operate in Brussels on the 5th of June This highly interactive event will illustrate the approaches taken and lessons learnt throughout thirty EU H2020 projects and key stakeholders, including a consideration of how European funding can be used to develop
3rd Progress Meeting – First Project Review
The 3rd Progress Meeting of SCALE and its 1st Project Review is scheduled to take place on the 27th and 28th of June 2018 at the industrial plant of AOS in Hamburg, Germany.
WHAT IS SCANDIUM?
Scandium is a chemical element with symbol Sc and atomic number 21. A silvery-white metallic d-block element, it was discovered in 1879 by spectral analysis of the minerals euxenite and gadolinite from Scandinavia.
Scandium is a rare-earth metal, used in small amounts but with drastic effects on properties of matter. It is a key component in producing high strength Aluminium alloys used in aerospace and 3D printing as well as in Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) applications.
