The steel sector plays a central role in shaping Europe’s industrial future.

Recently, we gathered in Germany to explore how projects, funded by the Research Fund for Coal and Steel, are transforming the sector through decarbonisation, circularity and industrial symbiosis.

Last year, the EU adopted its first-ever law to fight violence against women and domestic violence.

But this is not the end of the story.

Tonight, Europe shines orange as a reminder of our responsibility:

To ensure every woman can live without fear.
