Con­tent of Course

During the semes­ter the stu­dents will work in small teams on dif­fe­rent pho­to­nics inno­va­tion chal­lenges pro­vi­ded by indus­try or rese­arch part­ners. To make this work the Licht­werk­statt Maker­space and the Abbe School of Pho­to­nics are pro­vi­ding input through theo­re­ti­cal lec­tures and hands-on work­shops that enable the stu­dents to work on their inno­va­tion chall­enge and create results by the end of the semester.
Part­ners from indus­try and rese­arch are wel­come to pro­vide either…

  • a short pre­sen­ta­tion about a course rele­vant topic (low invol­vement) or
  • an inno­va­tion chall­enge inclu­ding some men­to­ring (high involvement).

Bene­fit from crea­tive solu­ti­ons to your problems.
A team of about 3 – 5 pho­to­nics stu­dents will deve­lop solu­ti­ons exclu­si­vely for your pro­blem within a semes­ter. They are sup­ported by expert men­tors from the Abbe Cen­ter of Pho­to­nics and the Licht­werk­statt Jena. Take the oppor­tu­nity to open up your inno­va­tion pro­cess and get new ideas for prac­ti­cal problems!
