The aim was to teach the participating students from Brazil, England, Indonesia, Mexico, Korea, Taiwan and the USA about sustainable logistics solutions for urban areas and to let them apply their knowledge to a real-life project. We were able to win the Fraunhofer Institute IESE in Kaiserslautern and the EnStadt:Pfaff project as cooperation partners. "We are pleased that Patrick Mennig, Head of Digital Innovation Design at Fraunhofer IESE, worked with us during this Winter University and we could focus on a the Enstadt:Pfaff project with has a high practical relevance and innovative character," says Prof. Dr. Monika Futschik.
At the end of the Winter School, the students presented their delivery concepts for the EnStadt:Pfaff residential quarter. "There were some really cool ideas and I like the spirit of how the students freely integrated new ideas across different trades," said Prof. Dr. Johanna Bucerius. In the end, all participants agreed - this was a great programme that demands to be continued!
We would like to thank all participating companies and organisations and look forward to further cooperation.
