StahlTag 2026 at Henrichshütte Hattingen: Inspiration, Innovation and a Full House
A full house indeed — at Henrichshütte Hattingen, which once again provided the inspiring setting for our VDEh-StahlTag 2026 on May 21, 2026. Around 400 participants from industry, research and academia attended outstanding presentations on the direct reduction of iron ores, a dynamic young professionals’ forum in a “speed presenting” format, and an atmospheric evening StahlTreff with many engaging conversations. One participant summed it up perfectly: “Finally, a real highlight again in these difficult times! That’s truly motivating.”
Many thanks to our speakers Dr. Daniel Schubert, Prof. Marc Hölling, Dr. Rune Schmidt-Jürgensen, Dr. Richard Schanner and Prof. Hauke Springer, as well as to the young researchers Dr. Niklas Fehlemann and Christian Häffner from IBF, Niklas Veltmann and Sindokht Shayan from IEHK, Fiona Pickart and Florian Wegmann from IME, and Nada Mohamed and Yongsu Lee from IOB at RWTH Aachen University. And of course, our sincere thanks go to our sponsors, without whom the Steel Day would not have been possible!
