The course Air Pollution Control, part of the UAS7 Virtual Academy, was a transatlantic cooperation between Bremen University of Applied Sciences and the University at Albany. The key goals of the joint course were to engage students in solving real-world air pollution problems through project-based learning. In doing so, they learned to foster collaboration, relationships and networks with fellow international students and their instructors.

Students from several engineering and computer science programs at Osnabrück University of Applied Sciences and at University at Albany conduct experiments on artificial intelligence and develop their own products for the Internet of Things. They exchange ideas in transatlantic teams and give each other feedback on their project ideas.

The mid-point in the Hochschule für Wirtschaft und Recht Berlin (HWR Berlin) and University at Albany (UAlbany)‘s COIL project on corporate governance and corporate social responsibility was marked with a rather unique session that led to students reflecting on a range of cultural and legal aspects.

Back in February 2021, Professor Mechthild Schrooten from the Bremen City University of Applied Sciences (HSB) and Professor Rita Biswas from the University at Albany (UA) started a joint transatlantic teaching project as part of the UAS7 Virtual Academy.

As part of the UAS7 Virtual Academy pilot phase Dominik Hammer of Hochschule München University of Applied Sciences (HM) and Martha Asselin of the University at Albany (Ualbany) are co-teaching a virtual course on interdisciplinary leadership with a focus on decision-making processes in crisis situations. On April 7, the transatlantic class was joined by high-ranking experts of both institutions who shared valuable insights into their own leadership experience in crisis situations.

Die UAS7-Roadshow “Wege zur Professur” gastiert seit 2017 in regelmäßigen Abständen an den sieben Mitgliedshochschulen des Verbunds. Im Dezember 2020 fand die Veranstaltung erstmals virtuell statt - am 12.03.2021 folgte nun die zweite Online-Ausgabe mit über 160 Teilnehmenden, die sich an der Hochschule München über die besonderen Merkmale einer HAW-Professur informierten.

Das unabhängige Bewertungsportal StudyCheck hat die beliebtesten Hochschulen 2021 gekürt. Alle sieben UAS7-Hochschulen sind unter den besten 60 %, die Hochschule Osnabrück schneidet mit Rang 5 am besten ab.
