steeluniversity, the education and training programme of the World Steel Association (worldsteel), is pleased to announce the opening of registrations for the 20th edition of steelChallenge.
The Regional Championship will be on 25th November 2025 from 12.00 UTC. All entrants are tasked to produce a grade of steel in our steelmaking simulators that meets technical requirements at the lowest cost per tonne with carbon footprint requirements. They will have 24 hours to complete successful runs to have the chance of being selected as the champion of one of our five regions – Americas, Europe & Africa, Asia – West, Asia- North, and Asia – East and Oceania.
For the first time, there are three categories: Industry, University Student, and High School Student. The High School Student category is a closed pilot delivered in collaboration with Techint Group and Hadeed. The category will open to everyone in 2026.
Participants who register for steelChallenge are given access to steeluniversity’s Learning Solutions Directory to take e-learning courses, attend live masterclasses, interact with 3D models and practice on the simulator. There are also dedicated training workshops for top-level sponsors.
