RFCS - research Fund for Coal and Steel

ESTEP florishs close relationship with the unit for coal and steel in DG RTD. Since 2015 once a year a common steel workshop was done at the premises of the European Commission. The ESTEP community is very much invloved inthe RFCS programme not only by submission of RFCS proposals but equaly important by running and managing the RFCS programme itsself. The latter comprises the steel advisory group (SAG), the technical groups (TG) and the evaluation of RFCS proposals.
