Greetings from ZHAW School of Engineering, Switzerland!
Dear partners and colleagues

Summer Break is slowly coming to an end in Switzerland and faculty and staff are returning to the office for gearing up and preparing the upcoming academic year 2024/25.

Looking back to the first half of the year, festivities in the frame of our 150 anniversary, Patricia's attendance at NASFA, and intensified collaborations with the partner universities of the EELISA alliance stood out.

Looking forward, we are excited to welcome 25 incoming students from the USA, Asia, and Europe for the upcoming fall semester, meet our partners at EAIE in Toulouse in September and explore on new partnerships in Canada during a delegation visit, led by our Dean, Prof. Dr. Dirk Wilhelm. The natural academic cycle restarts again, and we are very much looking forward to this.

Thank you all for your continuous support and collaboration!

Kind regards from the International Office,
ZHAW School of Engineering
Patricia, Jeannine, Claudia, Livia, Prisca and Tina

Nomination and Learning Agreements are now online
We are happy to announce that we have successfully connected to the Erasmus Without Paper (EWP) Network and activated the Outgoing and Incoming Digital Learning Agreements (DLA), as well as our nomination process! This marks a significant step towards digitalization, enabling a more interconnected, efficient, and paperless collaboration with all our partners.

Please have a look at our established processes for partners connected to the EWP network and DLA, as well as for those who are not yet part of the network.
 
 
Special Experiences of Incoming Exchange Students
During the last semester, we had the pleasure of hosting wonderful incoming students from diverse backgrounds. Their presence enriched our community in countless ways. Our shared events and experiences are beautifully summarized in our Remembrance Book. We are excited to share with you two detailed reports from incoming students.

Summer Schools
 
"Robotics and Mechatronics" with students from University of Minnesota
 
 
In May we hosted once again a batch of students from the University of Minnesota attending the summer school on “Robotics and Mechatronics”, which is delivered by the Institute of Mechatronics System. Worth reading the report and the student's blog.

Night of Technology - Nacht der Technik
The ZHAW School of Engineering opens its doors every year at the beginning of July, inviting the general public on a journey of discovery through the world of technology. One can enjoy exciting laboratory tours, an interactive exhibition, view the current thesis of this year's graduates, and try out experiments in the TechLab. The famous graduates' tailcoat parade takes place beforehand through the city center of Winterthur. Watch the video to get a glimpse of this special event.
