From November 13th to 15th, 2024, the EEIGM team had the privilege of visiting Montanuniversität Leoben (MUL), a key member of the EEIGM consortium and a valued partner within the EURECA Pro alliance. This visit was a unique opportunity to collaborate with the local teams, highlight academic opportunities, and promote the importance of mobility in shaping the future of materials science.
Engaging with Students: Presenting the EEIGM program.
On Thursday, November 14th, the EEIGM and local coordinator Pr. Raul Bermejo presented the EEIGM program to first-year Bachelor’s students specializing in materials science at MUL. The session offered an overview of the academic pathways, studying abroad, and the added value of being part of the EEIGM consortium. Following the presentation, we held a discussion session, addressing questions from students and emphasizing the international and career opportunities afforded by the program.
Reaching Out to Future Engineers: Info Tag for High School Students
The visit concluded on Friday, November 15th, with our participation in MUL’s Info Tag, an event aimed at high school students. Alongside MUL representatives, we introduced students to the world of materials science and the unique opportunities offered by the EEIGM network. The event was a great opportunity to inspire the next generation of engineers and encourage them to explore international academic pathways.
Meeting with the Rector: Strengthening Partnerships
Later that day, we had the honor of meeting Rector Peter Moser in the presence of our students currently on mobility at MUL. This meeting was a significant moment to celebrate the partnership between EEIGM and MUL, rooted in shared values of innovation and collaboration. We exchanged ideas on future projects and reaffirmed our commitment to providing students with unique opportunities in materials science.
A Shared Vision for the Future
We are sincerely grateful to MUL for their warm hospitality and ongoing support. Together, we are building connections across borders, inspiring global talent, and shaping the future of materials science.
We look forward to welcoming MUL students to Nancy soon.
