Dr. Sci. (Eng.), Professor, Honored Worker of Science and Technology of Russia,
State Prize Laureate, President's Award Winner in Education,
Academy of Natural Sciences Member.
08/20/1926 - 03/08/2018
- V. Romenets graduated with honors from the Faculty of Metallurgy, Institute of Steel in 1949. Was recommended for graduate school, economics and organization of production chair, led by Vice-President of the Academy of Sciences I. Bardin..
- In 1953 became candidate of sciences. At his own request in 1956 was sent to the Dzerzhinsky Metallurgical Plant., where he worked as a master of casting and steel production. Following I. Bardeen request returned to the chair.
- A significant place in V.A. Romenets scientific activity, took research on the effectiveness of the quality of the metal refining methods remelting (ESR, vacuum arc, electron beam, plasma). This complex of works made it possible to prepare in 1968 the doctoral thesis "The problem of steel production efficiency"
The entire V.A. Romenets research and educational activities is associated with the Moscow Institute of Steel and Alloys (now National Research Technological University "MISiS").
- In 1966, V.A. Romenets is transferred to the position of Academy Vice-Rector for Education.
In 1969, V.A. Roments is awarded the title of professor and was elected as the head of economics and organization of production chair. He is directly involved in the implementation of large-scale scientific and methodological developments and their introduction into the educational process. Among them: a scientifically based methodology of curricula composition using logical links between separate disciplines, an unified plan of continuous training in the basic academic disciplines, a system of independent students work . A new profile economist - metallurgist with the relative set of laboratory equipment has been created and successfully used until the transition to the Bologna system. In 1999, the method of the curriculum creation was awarded the President of the Russian Federation Prize in the field of education.
- Under the V.A. Romenets guidance and counseling by more than 60 master's and doctoral titles have been awarded.
- V.A.Romenets has initiated the implementation of educational projects in the Beijing University of Science and Technology, in the National Institute of Technology ,Karahpur, India as well as creation of El Tabbin Metallurgical Institute in Egypt and Annabin University in Algeria.
- V.A. Romenets always combined his educational-methodical activity with scientific activity in the steel mills. His research interests are directed on improving the economic efficiency of metallurgical processes. Together with his pupils V.A. Romenets published more than 380 works, including 9 monographs, 65 patents, 17 foreign publications dedicated to this matters..
- In 1980, for the creation of steel for nuclear reactors the team of creators with V.A. Roments participation was awarded the State Prize of the USSR.
- In recent years, the mini steel plants development gains the special actuality associated with the problem of the optimal metallurgical equipment for such plants. Under the V.A. Romenets leadership a new process called "Romelt" has been developed . “Romelt requires no coke for smelting iron , and allows to produce iron from low-grade iron ore and iron waste, polluting the environment. Thus, in addition to solving the basic problem - ironmaking, environmental issues are addressed and additional process heat is generated. A promising direction is the treatment of solid industrial and domestic waste using a liquid bath. A patent on this process owns NUST "MISiS".
- The "Romelt" process is patented in the US, Japan and India. Steel plants in Myanmar and Kazakhstan are currently being erected according the technology. Construction aggregates have been presented in India and Pakistan.
- V.A. Romenets was awarded five orders, including the "October Revolution" and IV degree «Fatherland’s Merit» orders, as well as 14 medals. Among them, the medal "For Labor Valor" and the medal "For the victory over Germany in the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945."

Journal History
The journal was founded in 2008. At this time, there were virtually no journals covering the issues of the metallurgical industry economy Consequently, the leading Moscow Institute of Steel and Alloys (MISiS) decided together with JSC "United Metallurgical Company", and under the assistance of the Russian Academy of Natural Sciences to establish journal, which should cover mainly the research and production issues of metallurgical complex. At the initial stage, the journal targeted a number of issues, including: analysis of the state of the economy and forecasting of the metallurgical industry of the Russian Federation; cost-benefit analysis of new technologies; strategic management in industry; industrial logistics; management of innovation and investment in the industry.
In a short time, the journal has acquired the status of a serious publication, was included in the HAC list, and significantly expanded the area of interest. Along with metallurgy, the topics covered include small business and industry; organization of accounting, planning and economic analysis in industrial plants; issues of corporate social responsibility; economic aspects of environmental protection, training of personnel for industry and business.
The circle of authors and reviewers of the journal has also expanded. At present, the authors (COPE journal are graduate students, researchers, university professors and experts of industrial and commercial structures of Russia, as well as countries and abroad. All published articles are reviewed, skillfully edited and proofread thus promoting a competent presentation of the material. As reviewers the journal attracts specialists, experts in issues relating to the published material.
