International Summer Academy in Engineering for Women

After a very successful second round last year, the University of Applied Sciences Upper Austria (FH Oberösterreich) is organizing an International Summer Academy in Engineering for Women again this July.

3rd International Summer Academy in Engineering for Women - ISAE4W

takes place from July 11th - July 22nd, 2016 at Wels Campus

The International Summer Academy for Women in Engineering (ISAE4W) offers an ideal opportunity for a selected group of highly-motivated and talented women (high school, college or undergraduate students) to experience top-class and challenging university-level coursework.

The Academy’s intensive, two-week programme combines sophisticated theory with hands-on practical experience in engineering and natural sciences. In addition to knowledge transfer in these fields, social, cross-cultural and gender aspects are covered and discussed during lectures and workshops. Even though most of the Academy’s programme will be for all participants, there are selected lectures, laboratories or seminars in the two main topics that cover specific issues and current trends in these scientific fields in more depth. In addition, the participants will have an ongoing project throughout the entire academy in their selected main topic. The project will encompass scientific and technological aspects as well as creativity and social impact.

A team of highly qualified academic staff from our university as well as from other universities and organisations will provide scientific and technical background on workshop topics and information about the role of women in science and their opportunities in scientific careers.
