About MOWSES
The MOWSES Project (Multi-faceted Assessment and Optimization of Welded Structural Green Steel Plates for Use in European Sustainable Infrastructure) is an EU-funded research initiative aimed at advancing sustainable green steel solutions for critical infrastructure across Europe.
Launched in October 2024, MOWSES focuses on enhancing the safety and performance of welded scrap-based steel plates, specifically for medium to ultra-high strength applications required in industries such as energy and construction. With funding under the EU’s Twin Green and Digital Transition 2024 program, MOWSES is dedicated to reducing carbon emissions by refining the use of recycled steel, a key step in the journey to climate neutrality by 2050.

Partners
Coordinated by OCAS NV, a joint venture of ArcelorMittal and the Flemish region, MOWSES unites a diverse team of academic and industry experts from Belgium, Germany, the Netherlands, and the Czech Republic. Each partner brings specialised knowledge in steel production, structural engineering, and advanced analytics methods, forming a multidisciplinary approach to overcoming the technical challenges posed by using increased amounts of scrap for the steel production. In Germany, three of the project’s key partners—including EURICE (European Research and Project Office GmbH)—are based in Saarland, a region renowned for its legacy in steel production and industry innovation.
