"Representatives from all the EUt+ universities were attending the “Darmstadt Week” to take their joint research projects forward"

The Schöfferstrasse Campus was filled with hustle and bustle from 8 to 12 May. Representatives from all the EUt+ universities were attending the “Darmstadt Week” to take their joint research projects forward. Attention centred on the mid-term report on “EXTRAS”, an EUt+ project that fosters research and the dissemination of knowledge. Appraisers from the European Commission joined the event and delivered a positive assessment of the projects. “EXTRAS” aims to encourage more intensive networking between the EUt+ partner institutions at the research level and to establish a common roadmap for research and innovation.

The Darmstadt Week also included a meeting of the EUt+ working group on microelectronics (coordinated at the h_da by Prof. Thomas Schumann from the Faculty of EIT) to discuss plans for common degree courses, blended intensive programmes (see next article) and mobility options. Parallel to the EUt+ week, the Darmstadt Institute for Statistics and Operations Research at the h_da (DISO) and EUt+ partners organized the “Statistical Data Science” workshop, which was attended by around 40 teaching staff and students. Doctoral students from Cartagena, Cluj, Darmstadt, Dublin and Troyes presented their latest research on the subject. Excursions to Darmstadt and the evening programme enabled participants to become more familiar with the city and our university, and to forge new contacts.
