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, seminars and workshops.

The lectures, laboratories or seminars will cover following specific issues and current trends:

Natural Sciences in Time & Space

>> Career Talks – successful graduates from the University of Applied Sciences Upper Austria report from their careers in science and technology
>> Group project – leading-edge technologies and their impact on society 
>> Sustainability – the interconnections of different technological systems and considerations about how changes affect these systems
>> OpenLab of the University of Applied Sciences Upper Austria

Synthetic Biology
