What is Vanitec?

The Vanadium International Technical Committee (VANITEC) is a technical and scientific committee which brings together representatives of companies involved in the mining, processing and manufacture of vanadium and vanadium-containing products for use mainly in the metals and materials manufacturing and chemical industries, world-wide.

The object of VANITEC is to promote the use of vanadium bearing materials and thereby to increase the consumption of vanadium. To this end it organises research on the properties of vanadium bearing materials and issues publications (both original publications, specifically prepared by its members or other organisations and reprints of papers from the technical press). In addition, from time to time it organises seminars and conferences in various parts of the world.

In 1981, at the time of the 150th Anniversary of the discovery of vanadium, VANITEC endowed an award to be presented by the Institute of Materials to the author(s) of the best published paper on vanadium in any one year. read more
