Abstract
Coupled experimental and modelling studies are combined into an integrated research program on phase equilibria, thermodynamics and viscosities of the metallurgical slag systems. Key issues derived from experiences in continuing development and application of both experimental and thermodynamic modelling research are outlined. Particular emphasis is given to the details of the research methodologies, analysis of reasons for uncertainties and the ways to continuously improve the accuracy of both studies. The ways how the advanced research tools can be implemented into industrial operations are presented
