Summer term 2024:

Every semester, there is an excursion to a well-known manufacturer or user in the field of polymer technology.

Current offers and dates for excursions can be found in StudOn.

The Institute of Polymer Technology has been networked with universities around the world for many years. This provides a lively professional exchange and in particular the exchange of students, visiting scholars and professors. An international exchange offers the opportunity to further develop on a personal level, to network internationally and also to expand the individual locations by offering additional teaching opportunities. The closest university co-operations are listed below:

---

University of Wisconsin, Madison, USA

Polymer Engineering Center (PEC), Prof. Prof. hon. Dr. Tim A. Osswald

Professor Osswald holds the lecture “Simulation in der Kunststoffverarbeitung” at the Institute of Polymer Technology every semester. Furthermore, it is possible to do a thesis in Madison as a student. This requires support from the LKT and PEC (Polymer Engineering Center, University of Wisconsin, Madison). Please contact Ms. Kaufmann for further information.
