Am 27. und 28. Oktober nehmen Studierende der Vertieferrichtung Verkehrswesen des Fachbereichs Bauingenieurwesen der FH Münster an der Tagung „Fresno International Transportation Innovations Summit PEDAL 2023“ in Fresno, USA teil.

This Fall, the North America office of UAS7 presented at different career fairs across the United States. We want to share with you some of the highlights of our broad participation. 

UAS7 went to Boston for the German American International Network conference on August 25-27, 2023. GAIN is a network of the German Research Foundation (DFG), the DAAD, and the AvH Foundation. The GAIN conference supports transatlantic mobility of early career researchers, attracting German, US, and international researchers from MIT, Harvard, Boston University, and regional research institutes, interested in German career paths and collaborations.

Die diesjährige Hybridveranstaltung fand vom 17. bis zum 28. Oktober statt und versammelte mehr als 140 Studierende von 12 Universitäten aus Brasilien, Chile, Kolumbien, Deutschland, den USA und dem UK. Das Projekt umfasste neue Herausforderungen und Möglichkeiten für Studierende, ihre unternehmerischen und interdisziplinären Fähigkeiten zu verbessern, multikulturelle Erfahrungen zu sammeln und gleichzeitig innovative Ideen zu entwickeln.

Im Rahmen der UAS7 Virtual Academy sind durch freundliche Unterstützung von Antonia Levy, stellvertretende Direktorin des Office of Faculty Development and Instructional Technology an der CUNY School of Professional Studies, zwei Videos zum Thema Barrierefreiheit und Inklusion in der Online-Lehre entstanden.

At the 2022 AIEA Annual Conference, UAS7 had the pleasure to share their first year Virtual Academy experiences on a panel entitled “Taking Virtual to the Next Level”, jointly with Ben Brisch, Director of the DAAD North America Office, Ann-Kristin Matthe, Head of Section Digitalisation for Internationalisation at DAAD Germany, and Annette Richie, Director of Global Academic Programs at our partner University at Albany.

The last two years changed the world and with it changed the parameters of applied sciences. At a hybrid University-Industry talk, sponsored by the Otto and Fran Walter Foundation, academic, business and industry leaders from three continents shared their ideas on university-industry relations and Innovation Powered by Applied Sciences.

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.
