The Faculty of Engineering at the World Market of Staff Week

Focus on Networking, Exchange, and International Cooperation

On September 17, 2025, Ester Gnandt, program coordinator for Sustainable Systems Engineering, and Ursula Epe, study coordinator, represented the Faculty of Engineering at the World Market during the Staff Week of the University of Freiburg. The event was hosted by the Connected Services team together with the International Office under the motto “Strides in International Teaching, Learning & Administration.”

This international event brought together staff from numerous partner universities from all over the world in Freiburg with the goal of promoting intercultural exchange and initiating new collaborations. At the Faculty of Engineering's booth, Ester Gnandt and Ursula Epe took the opportunity to talk to colleagues from various countries. Topics such as the English-language degree programs, international mobility programs, and student marketing were at the heart of the lively exchange. The Staff Week thus provided an ideal platform to cultivate international networks, establish new contacts, and lay the groundwork for further international cooperation for the Faculty of Engineering.

The Faculty of Engineering stands for excellent research, innovative degree programs, and a strong international network. With its combination of practice-oriented teaching, interdisciplinary projects, and forward-looking topics, it is an attractive partner for students and researchers from around the world.

With a great deal of commitment and openness, the faculty has once again demonstrated: We are internationally connected, future-oriented, and open to collaboration!
