Industry Feedback

BlueScope Steel has a long-standing collaboration with the Materials Engineering discipline in the Faculty of Engineering at the University of Wollongong.

The relationship was strengthened in 1995 with the formation of what is now the BlueScope Steel Metallurgy Centre (BSMC).  A Memorandum of Understanding formalizes this relationship.

Mr David Varcoe, General Manager Product R&D at BlueScope Steel, said BlueScope Steel is very pleased to support the University in this way.  “Through the BSMC we partner with highly regarded academic staff who have an interest in steel  metallurgy and  we are able to jointly develop excellent research projects that benefit both the steel industry and our downstream customers.  Steel is a versatile product that provides unique properties for the applications in which it is utilised. BlueScope Steel is proud to collaborate with the University of Wollongong to further enhance our products and to contribute to the research and educational initiatives of our local university.”
