Creating a Transatlantic Applied Science
Network in Engineering
Alexanderstraße
DAAD - Strategic Partnership Project:
It is a great honor and achievement for h_da to be part of
the DAAD Strategic Partnership Program. We will enjoy
working closely with all of you to raise our cooperation to a
new level. Today’s President’s Event and Policy Seminar is
a unique occasion to bring together all institutions involved.
We will hear representatives from politics and business
and discuss essential aspects of our collaboration – e.g.
the notion of “applied science” in higher education and the
value of global learning, teaching and working experience
- with experts from various renowned institutions. There
will also be plenty of time for getting to know one another
and explore the h_da campus and Darmstadt.
