„The new 25-nation European Union as an economic location – with regard to the federal state of Thuringia“
May this brochure be a remembrance of an unforgettable week for all partici-pants of our fi rst summer school and be also an appetizer for those who missed out last time, but who might like to join us in September 2006!
Last springtime we invited students and lecturers of our partner-universi-ties in Europe and overseas for a one-week summer school in Erfurt. The main target group were undergraduate students of management studies and interested lecturers.
We were then glad to host 25 foreign students and 5 international lecturers who spent an interesting and exiting week together with 12 of our students and lecturers from University of Applied Sciences as well as Business Partners from outside.
The idea of our fi rst summer school was to strengthen international co-ope-ration and communication, especially for the business students of our inter-national partners and to give them an
insight into our business studies pro-gram and research as well as project-work with German companies we are cooperating with.
The then enrolled participants came from Universities in Vilnius, Lithuania; Newcastle, United Kingdom; Gorzow as well as Kalisz, Poland and New Del-hi, India.
The chosen topic of our summer school „The New 25-nation European Union as an economic location“ provided the framework for the events which we or-ganized for that week
In the mornings our summer school offered several sessions of lectures and study courses which took place on our main University campus in Erfurt, Altonaer Strasse. For the afternoons and evenings there were additional workshops, the chance to visit various companies and different cultural pro-grammes in the famous old town of Erfurt and also in Leipzig.
For all of us this event was interesting and instructive and could also promote intercultural understanding.
The summer school was mainly fi -nanced by the University of Applied Sciences, the Friends of The Business Department and the listed sponsors. Our gratitude goes also to all those named and anonymous helpers and in particular to the very involved students’ orga-team of the Business Department of our University of Applied Sciences!
