Summer of Knowledge
International, cross-campus, connecting: the summer continuing education opportunities at TUM Campus Heilbronn put young researchers on the road to success.
Consciously and constantly looking beyond one’s own limited perspective provides impetus and opens up new insights. This is precisely what the TUM & HEC Summer School is known for, which was offered as a virtual event for the second time last year. The students gained in-depth insights into two exciting topics of digital innovation: startup entrepreneurship and industrial transformation.
An intensive academic program that lived up to its promise: participants praised the diverse selection of topics, the inspiring impressions, and the opportunity to meet people from all over the world. A face-to-face event is planned for 2023 in Heilbronn.
On the Road to Academic Excellence
The Ph.D. Summer School, which was held on campus for the first time this summer, received similarly positive feedback. The course series consisted of contributions from our professors on diverse topics, such as the economics of digitalization or empirical sustainability analysis.
The cross-campus learning opportunity also offered great networking potential: “The Ph.D. Summer School brings together Ph.D. students from all TUM institutions – and offers a unique opportunity to learn with and from each other,” reflects participant Rossella Rocchino. She participated in the first week as one of the first scholarship holders of the TUM Academic Training Program (ATP).
The offer is considered a unique selling point, as TUM is the only university in the Heilbronn-Franconia region that trains doctoral students. The self-declared goal: to build up expertise and knowledge and bring them to the region.
