On April 1 and 2, this year’s CUCEE Spring Meeting took place at Technische Hochschule Mittelhessen, Friedberg Campus. For the first time, colleagues from Pilsen were welcomed, while participation of our partners from Belarus unfortunately remained impossible. The meeting was held in a hybrid format, as not all participants were able to attend in person.
The meeting focused on topics such as student mobility, guest lectures, and online teaching, with particular attention given to strategies for further developing CUCEE activities. In the coming years, the network aims to grow into a platform that goes beyond the existing faculties of the participating universities and provides new colleagues with opportunities to establish international cooperation – both within and beyond the network.
Two Blended Intensive Programmes (BIPs) that have already been successfully initiated were also presented. One of these programmes has been running for several years with the participation of THM in Gießen, together with partner institutions in Portugal and Spain; more recently, the University of Zielona Góra has joined this consortium (further details can be found in a separate report on this homepage). Another BIP is currently in development, with THM (Friedberg Campus), the University of Zielona Góra, and a partner university in Finland involved at the initial stage.
A particular highlight of the meeting was the participation not only of the coordinators, but also of double degree students from Zielona Góra and Gliwice currently enrolled at THM, several doctoral candidates from Tallinn, and staff members from various partner institutions.
The coordinators took the opportunity to learn about the town of Friedberg and its history in addition to technical topics.
All interested parties are warmly invited to get in touch with the CUCEE network coordinators. We welcome your involvement in the network’s activities and your contribution to fostering sustainable international cooperation and intercultural exchange.
In May 2025, Dr. Krzysztof Habelok from Politechnika Śląska visited THM to deliver a series of guest lectures. The photo shows him in the Electrical Engineering Laboratory of the Faculty of Industrial Engineering at THM in Friedberg, together with Prof. Dr. Lars Heinert.
In addition to his lecture on the topic of power quality, Dr. Habelok also visited the Virtual Reality Laboratory and several other facilities at the Friedberg Campus.
