Week of technology within the pupils’ university 2018: Engineer 4.0 – Designing the future!

They are almost indispensable in everyday life – the innovative achievements of engineers in the most diverse areas of our lives. Working together closely with the industry, they research and develop innovative processes at the university and test new materials. In the week of technology you get plenty of insight into the research areas of our scientists, the challenges of the future, and work, among others, in a project to use rapeseed oil to make your own biodiesel for a car.

As part of the pupils’ university, you will join us for one week at the Technical University Mining Academy of Freiberg and experience student life at first hand. In addition to attending lectures and a guided tour around the university campus, you will receive many close insights into life at the Technical University Mining Academy of Freiberg. Both specially prepared lectures and test stalls, where you can try out yourselves, are awaiting you here. In addition, we will organize a field trip and prepare a special for you on the subject of electric mobility – that’s pretty cool!

This year’s week of technology will take place from 23 to 27 July 2018. Up to 15 participants from the 10th grade onwards can register for it. We also offer you accommodation as well as a great supporting program 😉

Sounds good to you?

Further education project “Ore Mountains – new landscape, new opportunities” has started

In order to give Saxon and Czech pupils and students an understanding of the topics of energy and environment, the Research Institute for Brown Coal of Most, the University of Chemistry and Technology of Prague and the Technical University Mining Academy of Freiberg have joined forces and initiated the further education project “Ore Mountains – new landscape, new opportunities”.

Thanks to funding by the European Union until August 2020, the project partners now have the opportunity to offer various events for pupils and students.

Through self-conducted experiments and plant visits at the project days or the pupils’ university, valuable impressions of the everyday work of a process engineer and the challenges of the future can be gained. More information about the project can be found at https://www.erz2020.cz (target page in German or Czech language).

Welcome to our project: “Erzgebirge – new landscape, new opportunities”

Energy turnaround, fossil-fuel phase-out, generation of renewable electricity – what does all this have to do with my region? To answer this question, the cross-border, further education project “Ore Mountains – new landscape, new opportunities” has been initiated. It is supported by the European Regional Development Fund (EFRE) until August 2020.

Our goals:

We want you to get interested in the topics of environment and energy!

Very important in that regard:

Process engineering!
