With the support of EVRAZ, the Siberian State Industrial University (SibGIU) established the Center for Digital Metallurgy. It houses a virtual and augmented reality (VR and AR) laboratory, as well as a metallurgical production management process modeling laboratory, where experts will be able to observe and participate in real production processes.

EVRAZ technical director stated that introducing students to metallurgical equipment and production processes using 3D modeling and IT technology will definitely increase the competence level of future metallurgists, thereby increasing the company's core competitiveness.
