Summer schools
International summer schools offer students the opportunity to immerse themselves in current topics and challenges. Each partner university organises its own summer schools, in which all interested students can participate and thus gain an insight into the respective academic environment and innovative practices.
During the summer schools, students are introduced to various topics in lectures by lecturers from the organising university. The lectures cover a wide range of topics, from the latest global trends to regional challenges and solutions.
In addition to the lectures, interactive workshops provide a platform for the exchange of ideas and the development of concrete projects. Students work in international teams to develop creative solutions and apply their knowledge.
Another component can be visits to local companies or institutions, which give participants a practical insight into the world of work and corporate strategies.
The International Summer Schools are a unique opportunity to expand knowledge, develop interdisciplinary skills and make international contacts - all in a dynamic and inspiring environment.
