RWTH: UNITECH International meets at RWTH Aachen University

From August 26th to September 2nd, representatives of UNITECH International will meet at the RWTH Aachen University for the General Assembly Week. RWTH Aachen is the only university in Germany in this network of eight European universities, ten industrial partners and around 1,400 alumni. The UNITECH International Network enables students of engineering, computer science, physics and biotechnology to spend a semester abroad and do an internship.

With the help of coaches and alumni, UNITECH International not only promotes the technical skills of the students, but also explicitly soft skills, empathy, communication skills, project management and successful teamwork in an international context. Among other things, there is the possibility of making direct contact with company partners at a trade fair event and then applying for a job in a centrally coordinated job interview while still out of the program. The companies meet talents who show enormous commitment during their studies, which goes far beyond a purely technical qualification.

The aim of the meeting in Aachen is also to further expand the network relationships between industry and universities. Joint projects and opportunities for cooperation can be initiated.
