Education
Below please read statements from the supporting companies:
“Siemens Wind Power employs a great number of engineers every year. Last year this number exceeded 100. Therefore, we support education of engineering students, who are heading for the competences, that we are looking for. It is also important to us that the students get a good impression both of our industry and of Denmark. Thereby, we get good ambassadors for the wind industry and for Denmark.
I appreciate the direct dialogue with students at the Summer School. Through workshops and discussions about the technology of modern wind turbines, we get to know each other, and I get an opportunity to tell about our high-tech industry, and what this industry offers as well as requires from future graduates. The students are often fascinated to hear how complex and innovative wind technology is. They all seem eager to learn more, and I find this very inspiring."
Per Hessellund Lauritsen, Siemens Wind Power A/S
“The progression through the program of the Summer School 2009 was important to Vestas Wind Systems A/S. It comprised theory, visits to companies and to a wind turbine, all leading to the students’ final task of redesigning a wind turbine in groups of six. The Summer School 2010 will build on to this concept and involve further elements of active learning.
We like the idea that applicants have to explain why they wish to join the Summer School. In this way we can be sure only to get the most committed and well-prepared students, with whom it is a pleasure to work.
The facilities at Fuglsøcentret were perfect and a fine starting point for excursions in Jutland.”
