Auslandssemester an der Jeju National University, Südkorea

Posted on by
Kommentar

Vorbereitung
Schon zu Beginn meines Studiums im WS 2019 war ich bei der Infoveranstaltung des International Offices (IO) um einen Überblick über die Möglichkeiten zu bekommen. Die Anmeldung an der Partnerhochschule ging wegen der guten Vorbereitung
auch recht schnell von Statten. Als ich offiziell an der Jeju National University
angemeldet war, konnte ich mein Visum beantragen und mich um die Flüge
kümmern.

 

Unterkunft
Nach 19 Stunden Reisezeit kam ich also auf der größten Insel Südkoreas an. Mit dem Taxi fuhr ich zum Campus und bezog dort mein Zimmer im Studentenwohnheim. Dieses habe ich mir mit einer weiteren Austauschstudentin aus Japan geteilt.

Studium an der Gasthochschule
Die Auswahl an englischsprachigen Kursen hielt sich in Grenzen. Da ich die Übersicht dieser schon vor meiner Reise zugeschickt bekommen habe, konnte ich mich darauf einstellen und abklären, ob meine gewählten Kurse angerechnet werden können. Ich habe mich für „Analyzing Korean Movies in the World Mass Media“ und „Public Speaking“ entschieden.

Alltag und Freizeit
Auf dem großen Sportfeld inmitten des Campus konnten wir uns abends zum Federball spielen, laufen, Seilspringen, Fuß- oder Basketball spielen treffen. Tagsüber gab es hier oft Veranstaltungen. Das Highlight war das Student
Festival, welches typisch für koreanische Universitäten ist. Ein dreitägiges Festival mit Food Trucks, Gesichtsbemalung, Eventständen und natürlich Live- Performances von koreanischen Künstlern.

Generell bietet die Insel sehr viele Möglichkeiten zum Entdecken an. Am
zweiten Wochenende nach unserer Ankunft waren wir auf dem Firefestival auf der anderen Seite der Insel, kurz darauf war die Kirschblütenzeit, welche durch die vielen kleinen Blüten die Straßen in ein zartes rosa tauchen.

Fazit
In den vier Monaten, die ich dort verbracht habe, hatte ich genügend Zeit die ganze
Insel zu entdecken und meine liebsten Orte auch öfter zu besuchen. Letztendlich hat mir mein Auslandaufenthalt sehr viel mehr gegeben, als ich erwartet hätte .Auch wenn die Reise anfänglich beängstigend wirkte, hat es sich aus vielen Gründen sehr gelohnt.

Rosenheimer Promotionsstudenten auf der „EPIA Conference on Artificial Intelligence“ auf Faial Island, Portugal

Posted on by
Kommentar

Das Programm wurde vom Prof. Marcel Tilly als eine Möglichkeit zum Einreichen eines Paper vorgeschlagen. Nach der Annahme und der Ausarbeitung jenes Papers war nun die Option dieses vor Ort zu präsentieren. Durch die finanzielle Unterstützung seitens dem Go Abroad Stipendium und der FuE der TH Rosenheim wurde die Teilnahme ermöglicht.

Die Unterkunft wurde unsererseits selbst organisiert. Wir
entschieden uns somit zur Buchung einer Airbnb-Unterkunft, welche am Rand Hortas am Fuß eines der vielen Vulkane lag. . Die Unterkunft bat Blick übers Meer hinüber zur Nachbarinsel Pico mit dem gleichnamigen Vulkan “Ponta do Pico”.

Die Vorträge auf der Konferenz
kamen aus dem eruropäischen Feld und waren in Gruppen geclustert. Von der Schädlingserkennung beim Weinanbau, über das frühzeitige Erkennen eines sich anbahnenden
Versagens eines Fräskopf hin zur Simulation der Änderungen von Meeresströmungen waren
diverseste Anwendungsfelder der künstlichen Intelligenz dargestellt.
Die Vorträge fanden auf englisch statt und waren entsprechend gut verständlich. Es handelte sich um ein eher kleineres Format und es war ersichtlich, dass auch viele Doktorand:innen dieses Programm nutzen, um ihre Fortschritte und Vorhaben zu präsentieren. In diesem Zusammenhang würden wir Doktorad:innen das Programm empfehlen.

Von der Konferenz aus, wurde eine Nachmittagstour über die Insel Faial angeboten. Wir haben
den inzwischen grünen Caldera “Cabeço Gordo” inmitten der Insel angeschaut, welcher im
gewissen Maße abgetreent der übrigen Fauna und Flora in mitten der Insel weilt. Auch die tote
Landschaft des Vulkans “Capelinhos” am gegenüberliegenden Ende Faials haben wir besucht.

“Forschungsbegeistere Menschen auf einem Haufen münden immer in interessanten
Gesprächen, und wenn die Landschaft daneben viel zum Entdecken bietet, vergeht das
Grinsen gar nicht mehr.“

Pisa was „Bellisima!“- Summer School in Pisa, Italy

Posted on by

This course was about the applications of the Industrial IoT and its practical applications.

The application process was simple and entirely online. I had to fill in all my details and upload my resume. The result was announced via email within a few days.

For the accommodation search, the university provided some options. But I was looking out for cheaper accommodation with the provision of a kitchen too. I was along with 2 other friends from TH Rosenheim who were doing the same summer course as me in the shared room. The arrival session was smooth and welcoming. We were given Canteen Cards and Bags. Learning environment was a Classroom equipped with projectors and speakers.

There were also many hardware demos provided by the respective professors.The language was comprehendible. Although some lectures were challenging as it needed the pre-requisite knowledge. Otherwise, the topics covered (RFID, Connected Vehicles, etc.) were also super interesting. Overall, an interesting and comprehensive course for the students who have a focus on Embedded Systems and IoT. I would recommend this course to the future students.

 

Visit the Leaning tower of Pisa, Arno River walk during the evenings, enjoy delicious Italian food and wine. Travel to Cinque Terre!. We were taken to the Computer Museum in Pisa where we got a guided tour of the oldest computer in Italy.


Overall, the summer school was comprehensive and highly informative. The learning outcomes from the summer course have helped me understand the possible topics I can consider for a Master Thesis. Getting to interact with the different students, the session on Connected Vehicles by Prof. Saponara and the great food shall be the top-of-mind recalls from this course.

Advanced School Experience on “Vehicle Dynamics, Control and Design” in Udine, Italy

Posted on by

I found out about the program via a post on my network on Linkedin. The school was focused exactly on the topic: Vehicle Dynamics and Control that I am interested in.The Application process included submitting my academic transcripts and it was very smooth. As soon as the application was processed and approved, I was informed of further steps to join.

The Guesthouse room was right next to the CISM Lecture Building. It was very comfortable and had an attached bathroom. I did not have to share the room as well.

The learning environment was very rich and inspiring as most of the participants were PhD Students and researchers in the field. So, everyone was passionate about the same topic. The discussions were about innovative approaches and trends in research along with doubts that students had. The Program started with a short revision of the basics of the topic and went further to the modern approaches and research areas in the field. It was hence a good challenge to take. The lecturers also presented their contributions in research and their results which were fascinating to see.I would hence gladly recommend it to other students.

The Institute also organised a guided city tour that informed us about the history, landscape and the local culture of the town and the region on Friuli-Venezia Giulia in Italy. The specialities of the town of Udine are Ham, Cheese and White Wine which one must try!

I shall always remember this experience of spending an entire week focused on learning more about the topic I like most, with young researchers and experienced professors who share the same interests!

I started looking electives to my degree and I saw European summer school option in last spring. Then I found course Online Marketing in Prague in Czech which was 2 weeks face-to-face course.When I found Online Marketing course in Prague, it was the best options which could fit for me. Topic, time, and location were great. Application to the course was easy because it happened online. Accommodation option came from Summer European summer school, and it was Botič Student House in Prague. It was normal student house for semesters, but in summer time there is a lot
of free space available.

Studying in school was great and there were many good lectures. In my course we got different lecturers which was nice experience. Every students had to have own computer that practicing was possible. Otherwise support and material came from course and there was a lot of concrete examples what we did. English language of course was understandable. I would recommend this course students who wants to develop their marketing skills.

After lectures and in the evenings, there was a lot of different opportunities to join different
activities. Summer school offered advised activities for the evenings.

I would say course gave me good experience to my academic and personal side. It was nice to
understand online marketing important for the future and also get some basic how you can
develop it by self.
In personal side, I got many friends and contacts around the world from this 2 week.

“Energy challenge: An interdisciplinary approach”- Summer School at the University of Groningen, Netherlands

Application process was easy, there were some forms on the website that needed to be filled out plus a short essay why I wanted to attend the summer school. The host university provided me with all the necessary information (Pre-Departure guide etc.).

There was a city walking tour and welcome drinks on our first day, so we really got to know each other and the program hosts. We had another introduction round on Monday morning. We had five lectures, played the WeEnergy Game, visited the company Gasunie, visited a hydrogen and renewable energy research center of the university.

The learning environment was supportive and fun. The size of about 15 people and the excitement of all the participants added to the good work atmosphere.

Groningen is a small city, I recommend staying in Amsterdam before or after the summer school for a couple of days. In Groningen you should see the Forum, go to the market and get a Stroopwafel, see the St. Martins tower, enjoy the vivid city and nightlife, walk or bike along the canal and do a city tour, Groningen has an interesting history!

In this summer school I learned a lot and met the most amazing people from nearly every continent in the world who are very passionate about the energy transition and helped me grow personally and academically.

Verena Schusser, a Doctoral Student at TH Rosenheim, presented her current research at ICCM23 in Belfast, Northern Ireland

The ICCM23 is one of the famous international conferences in the plastic industry. I learned by joining the conference and speaking to other scientists and doctoral students. There were people from all over the world who presented their current research work. The experiences I got at the conference helped me to improve my skills and expand my knowledge. I can recommend everyone to take the opportunity and have such an experience themselves. It was enough time to do e.g. sightseeing or to get together with other participants of the conference e.g. in restaurants, at the conference itself or in leisure time. In Belfast you should visit the Titanic Museum and the ship docks where the Titanic was built. I can also recommend a city sightseeing tour and going to an Irish pub.

TH-Rosenheim PhD student Vitus Zenz had the honor to attend the  ANTEC Conference in Denver, Colorado which is one of the three major international conferences in the plastics industry.                      We attended several sessions that were organized by the conference in order to learn more about the current state in plastics processing and material development

The experience to attend a high-class international conference was very special to me and I’m very grateful for the opportunity I got. Not only could I improve my presenting skills and really put them to the test in a high-stakes environment, after the presentation I gained a lot of confidence in my skills. Furthermore the interactions with other PhD-Students and scientists was very insightful and really extended my knowledge and experience. Therefore I can only recommend to attend such a big conference for self-development as an inspiring professional.
