CampusTag 2018 (open house)

On 09.06.2018 the annual open house at the TU Bergakademie Freiberg took place. All interested future students had the opportunity to inform themselves about options for studying in Freiberg. After all, you have the choice between 65 different degree courses and many advantages that the small town offers with its rather large, traditional university.

The IEC was also on site. We were particularly pleased that the pupils from the grammar school in Lovosicé (Czech Republic) accepted our call and, through our continuing education project, embarked on the open exchange on questions and challenges of the future of the energy sector.

So 27 students visited us at the CampusTag, then the special exhibition of the city and mining museum of “Silberrausch und Berggeschrey” with impressions of the medieval mining in Saxony and Bohemia, to finally drive into the pit at the Reiche Zeche mine.

The Free Press also found the time to talk to them briefly and so they also found their way into this journal. (Here is the German article.)

23rd Day of Renewable Energies in Oederan: A look back

On Saturday, 28 April 2018, the IEC was on site as part of the Ore Mountains Project at the 23rd Day of Renewable Energies and informed about its activities with various stalls. Interested visitors took the opportunity to inform themselves about the establishment of carbon cycles for the sustainable use of resources, possibilities for energy supply in the border area and the many different study opportunities at the Technical University Bergakademie Freiberg (TUBAF).

A true highlight: The specially marked Segway parkour, which made the topic of electromobility an exciting experience for young and old alike. The day was rounded off by an informative lecture program that presented the attracted audience with an overview of the recycling possibilities of residual materials with the title “Too good to be burned – high-tech products made of plastic waste”.
