Introduction

The conference will provide the opportunity for researchers and engineers in the field of ironmaking to focus on comprehensive and dedicated presentations and discussions regarding the iron ore agglomeration processes and the properties of agglomerates. It will contribute to the advancement of the agglomeration technology vital for high efficiency operation of the blast furnace and also the carbon neutrality of ironmaking process. The first conference of SynOre was successfully convened in 2022 in Matsue City, a typical mythological place, located in the northern region of Western Japan. The second one will be held in Toyama City, located in the Hokuriku Region of northern Chubu in Japan. Due to its position on the Hokuriku Shinkansen, Toyama is a popular stop for tourists on the way to other attractions in the area such as the Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route. The conference hall is in front of Toyama Castle, and the view of the castle tower from the lobby of the hall is the best.
