SBE Student Challenge, tell me more!
At SBE, collaboration is key, and that’s exactly what we want you to experience.
The SBE Student Challenge brings together students from all kinds of schools, majors and backgrounds to work on one big integrated project. A true mix of minds, disciplines, and fresh ideas.
Discover the story behind the SBE Student Challenge. Our Experts at Play share how this design competition came to life, what it’s all about and why we created it especially for you as a student.
The concept for the 2025–2026 academic year
The challenge is a design competition on an architectural, landscape and technical level, best tackled in teams with a mix of students from different disciplines. But don’t worry, you won’t be on your own! We’ve planned a site visit (November 2025) and two workshop days at SBE’s office in Sint-Niklaas (February & March 2026, exact dates will be set together with you).
These days are all about connecting with fellow students and experts in a relaxed setting. You’ll work hands-on with the different design topics linked to the assignment. Our 3 promises: inspiration, technical enrichment and real-life insights into the profession.
The grand finale? Presenting your project to a professional jury during the last workshop day. The winning team will take home a cash prize of €2.000.
