TrinTEd

Project description

The TrinTEd project aims to raise students' awareness of career opportunities in neighboring countries and to provide them with new intercultural skills that can be used in a cross-border context.

The students, who are divided into tri-national groups, will benefit from technical training in various areas, particularly during meeting weekends. The following topics will be covered: Mechatronics, computer science, sustainable development and climate protection, artificial intelligence and interculturality. The students will present the results of these weekends to their fellow students and representatives of companies in the three countries.

At the end of the project, a total of 400 students will have been enabled to develop technical solutions as part of tri-national teams. These students will be trained for future topics. Above all, they will also have acquired knowledge about corporate structures, technology transfer and copyright in the countries of the Upper Rhine region. Through the exchange with the business world, the students will be in an even better position to plan a career in the neighboring country.
