The widespread use of steel throughout European industry and the economy in general means that many other European Technology Platforms cooperate with ESTEP in their activities. In some cases, where intensive cooperation is called for, ESTEP Members are on other ETP Steering Committees, or take part in strategy and working groups. In other cases cooperation may be at the level of a partnership in a RTD project.
The following is a list of those ETPs with which ESTEP is working closely.
SUSCHEM: The Sustainable Chemistry ETP
WssTP: The European Water Platform
ZEP: The Zero Emissions Platform
EUMAT: The Advanced Engineering Materials and Technologies Platform
