Spring School

Spring School is an intense two-week seminar conducted in English, in which selected master students and participants taking their doctor's degree are trained in business matters.

New Applications for Modern Materials

At the Spring School we offer a practice-oriented seminar conducted together with a partner from industry. This industrial partner manufactures modern materials for which he seeks new applications. The seminar focuses on developing business opportunities for these new materials.
