This summer, for the first time, the Cluster of Excellence SE²A of TU Braunschweig (Sustainable and Energy-Efficient Aviation) together with the Association for the scientific development of ATM in Europe (ASDA) offered a two-week summer school focusing on interdisciplinary exchange on the topic of sustainable aviation.
Not only international students, but also students from German universities could participate. Experts from TU Braunschweig, partner universities and research institutions gave the participants insights into current research and initiated a discourse. Here, too, the academic part was supplemented by leisure activities and excursions. The programme included a barbecue, a guided tour through the Braunschweig research airport and a guided city tour.
The programme was a complete success for all participants, as Professor Jens Friedrichs, spokesman of the SE²A cluster, sums up: “I am really thrilled how quickly we found a common scientific language in this diverse group of participants from many different countries, and on this basis were able to discuss scientific approaches to solutions in a really serious and profound way.”
Professor Peter Hecker, Vice President for Research and Early Career Scientists at TU Braunschweig, adds: “The international summer schools are an excellent opportunity to further promote TU Braunschweig’s research fields among students and to show them career paths at TU Braunschweig. In this way, we may be able to welcome them back to our university as scientists in the future.”
