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. On April 12th, the third joint session took place, which was a highlight of the course for teachers and students alike.

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.

Gabriel Steinberg, recent computer science graduate from Binghamton University (SUNY), added a practical research experience to his studies. Through the UAS7 internship program, he was originally going to complete a research internship in multi-agent modelling and simulation with the MARS group at HAW Hamburg in Germany, but the corona pandemic put an end to those plans. Deciding he didn’t want to pass up on the opportunity, he arranged with the coordinating professor to complete the research remotely.

Balancing synochronous and asynchronous teaching; selecting the right technology tool and preparing students for international collaboration – these were just some of the many topics which were covered in the first round of the UAS7 Virtual Academy’s Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL) coaching sessions held in early January 2021.

O Escritório da UAS7 América Latina vem trabalhando para fortalecer as parcerias que mantém com instituições da América Latina. Em setembro passado, o diretor geral da UAS7, Claus Lange, e o diretor do escritório da aliança na América Latina, Sebastian Rocca, realizaram uma viagem de mais de três semanas visitando diferentes instituições da Argentina, Bolívia e Brasil.

No âmbito do evento „Brasil Aerospace Business Summit“, realizado de 4 a 8 de dezembro no Parque Tecnológico da cidade de São José dos Campos (SP), o diretor do Escritorio UAS7 Latin America, Sebastián Rocca, reuniu-se com o representante de assuntos internacionais da Hamburg Aviation, Sr. Patrick Pulendran, para discutir possibilidades de cooperação conjunta no Brasil.

Durante a semana de 30 de abril a 7 de maio, os membros das universidades de ciências aplicadas da UAS7 foram convidados especialmente para participar da 5ª Jornada Internacional de Enfermagem e do 3º Seminário em Saúde Materno-Infantil do Centro Universitário Franciscano (UNIFRA), realizados na cidade de Santa Maria (RS).
