Excursions

 

This year, the IAEW will again offer two exciting technical excursions with students and assistants during the Whitsun week (May 30 – June 02, 2023).

The excursions will take the students and assistants on the one hand to the north of Germany and on the other hand to Belgium and the Netherlands and will give the opportunity to gain an insight into today's industrial working world and to get an impression of potential employers. The focus is on companies for which electrical power engineering plays a decisive role in everyday business.

The following two routes are offered this year:
