Faculty of Technology: News — Wed, 15 Apr 2026 11:05:37 +0200

A semester abroad is a valuable academic and personal experience – and with the right financial support, it becomes much easier to realize. Through the Cross-Border Studies Programme of the Phoenix Contact Foundation, international study stays for students of the Faculty of Technology are specifically funded – both within and outside Europe. The Faculty and the International Office warmly welcome this funding opportunity and explicitly encourages students to consider spending a semester at one of our numerous partner universities. What does the programme offer? Funding for a semester abroad in the upcoming academic year (winter or summer semester)

Two scholarships awarded per calendar year
Can be combined with other funding programmes
Application period 📅 13 April – 15 May 2026

The call for applications is published once a year in March. Applications are only possible within this period. An international study experience enhances not only your academic profile, but also the intercultural skills, language proficiency, and global perspective – qualifications highly valued in both academia and industry.

IISY Symposium 2026: Highlights

Faculty of Technology: News — Thu, 26 Mar 2026 15:28:25 +0100

We look back on a truly successful and inspiring IISY Symposium that took place on March 25, 2026. Across two presentation sessions and one poster session, Master IISY students showcased the results of their research projects. A special highlight of the day was the final presentation of the Best Project Work award. After careful deliberation, the jury (Sven Wachsmuth, Benjamin Paaßen, and Thomas Herrmann)—selected Dana Meyer and Colin Watson as this year’s winners. Their project stood out for its quality, innovation, and excellent presentation, earning them a prize of €100. We warmly congratulate them on this well-deserved achievement. At the same time, we would like to emphasize that the symposium featured many outstanding projects. The high overall quality made the jury’s decision particularly challenging, reflecting the dedication and talent of all participants.

We would also like to extend our sincere thanks to Team TOBI for their impressive demo and for sharing their exciting experiences and insights from RoboCup. Their contribution added an extra layer of inspiration to the event. We hope that everyone who attended enjoyed the symposium as much as we did. Beyond showcasing excellent work, the event provided valuable insights and inspiration for future projects, research, and studies. Thank you once again to everyone who made this day possible—we look forward to the next IISY Symposium in 2027!
