Voraussetzungen

Inhalte

Since 2002 parallel seminars are held at the University of Technology Wroclaw, Technical University of Ostrava and the BTU in order to promote a German-Polish-Czech student exchange in the fields of power engineering, economics and politics. The main focus of the module is to raise awareness of the students on the development of sustainable technologies with future potential for production, storage and controlled transmission of electric power in the border regions in cooperation with speakers from partner universities. Historical and social context will be presented as well as research aims and development tendencies, in order to improve the understanding of the above mentioned issues. The students will choose a project topic out of diverse approaches and viewpoints in the field of energy production, form the working groups and produce a conference report and a presentation. Enhancement of presentation skills and report writing is one of the secondary objectives of the seminar. In 2009 a division was made into separate events for researchers and students, due to an increased interest in this event of international staff and students at the three partner universities. Since 2011 the EEEIC is organized as a conference for the scientific community and as a student edition with a workshop and a tour for students in order to promote young talents.

Lernziele

The students develop a sustainable, intercultural understanding for Eastern Europe and receive an overview of energy policies and technical development trends in the German-Polish-Czech border region. Through the preparation of conference papers and presentations in English the students learn to present scientific results of their research and through participation in an international conference they gain IEEE recognition. Additional insights into the culture and work environment of the partner countries are conveyed through a post conference tour, which also enables the establishment of permanent contacts between young scientists from the partner universities in Wroclaw, Ostrava and Cottbus.
