Focused on innovation and sustainability, the “Germany on Campus” symposium at University of Connecticut last Thursday highlighted why #Connecticut and UConn provide the perfect ecosystem for globally-minded engineering and business students. #Germany is Connecticut’s #1 economic partner, with many German world leaders in precision manufacturing calling Connecticut their U.S. home. UConn’s dual-degree programs, EUROTECH and EUROBIZ, prepare students for careers with these companies by equipping them with essential skills and international perspectives. Jan Lüdert, Ph.D., Head of Programs at #DWIHNY, delivered the keynote address,?“Transatlantic Innovations: Building Intercultural Citizenship Across the Disciplines.”?He emphasized the importance of innovation in intercultural relations, stating: "To be truly innovative, you must see your role as more than a job title or a collection of skills. Each project you work on is a chance to bridge differences and create new understandings." Dr. Sonja Kreibich, General Consul of Germany to the New England States at the German Consulate Boston opened the company panel with Dr. Christine Benz (TRUMPF North America), Marie-Anne Caye (Henkel), Peter Tolmei (ebm-papst), Jonathan Leach and Dave Gould (MTU Aero Engines North America), Michael Haaser and Will Trickett (Stopa America Inc) and Tom Siemieniak and Sujan Guhathakurta (fischer fixings LLC) moderated by Ted Fisher (AdvanceCT). Thanks to the University of Connecticut and Anke K. Finger for organizing such an outstanding showcase for EUROTECH and EUROBIZ. “Germany on Campus” is?a program of the Embassy of Germany in Washington, D.C.
