The inaugural Bessemer Lecture of the Steel Division of the Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining was presented in London on 30 September 2003. In what will be an annual event, Dr Birat's lecture as the recipient of the 2003 Bessemer Gold Medal was followed by the Steel Division Dinner and preceded by the presentation of other Institute steel related awards (see I&S, 2003, 30, 419). The 2003 lecture was sponsored by BOC, Corus and VAI UK.
