Young talents

Students have few chances to present real projects so we have decided to create special categories to get their work recognized.

Structural engineering students who have experience with IDEA StatiCa will have the chance to compete in both the steel and concrete project categories.

The winners of each category in both the young talents and professional categories will be announced on the Global User Day 2021.
