The seminar modules of the ITECH programme are accompanied with Expert Colloquia, which will take place in the Winter Semester (Expert Colloquium 1) and Summer Semester (Expert Colloquium 2).
The Expert Colloquia are presented in a flexible format to introduce research and new technology development from outside the involved institutes and to foster the collaboration with industry and academic partners.
The module introduces knowledge about the current state of integrative technologies in practice and research, presenting the work of experts ranging from design architects, engineering consultants to manufacturers and scientists. It offers students the possibility to discuss their own work with external experts as a base for further development.
The aim of the Expert Colloquia is to integrate the interdisciplinary expertise from cutting edge researchers in industry as well as from other academic institutions and universities into the ITECH programme.
The open format of this module includes a lecture series in the Winter Semester with invited guest speakers who will provide an insight into their professional and academic work as well as excursions to academic institutions and industry partners in the Summer Semester.
The specific schedule, contents and collaborating institutions will vary from year to year and will be announced and defined according to specific ITECH topics during the corresponding academic year.
