Participate in the Advanced Manufacturing Summer School to gain hands-on experience in solving real-world industrial challenges. This program is designed to equip you with cutting-edge skills in advanced manufacturing technologies, a field crucial for modern engineering and production.
This program not only enhances your technical skills but also prepares you for leadership roles in the rapidly evolving field of manufacturing. Don’t miss this opportunity to advance your career and make a significant impact in the industry.
By the end of the course, you'll be able to:
This intensive summer course equips students with the skills to address real-world industrial challenges using advanced manufacturing technologies. It combines theoretical learning with hands-on projects and includes a two-week on-site experience at a leading company's main site, working in diverse teams.
The virtual component is essential, bringing learners together online to work on specific assignments that are integrated into the programme and contribute to the overall learning outcomes.
The summer school is organized in a collaboration between the CircleU members Aarhus University (Departments of Mechanical and Production Engineering, and Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering), Belgrade University (Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, and School of electrical engineering), and Politecnico Milano (School of Management).
Teachers from all three universities will be teaching/supervising the students, and the course is initially calibrated for 10 students from Denmark, 10 students from Serbia and 10 students from Italy.
Applications are welcome from February 3, 2025.
After the application deadline, the organizing team select the participant from an objective to create the optimal cohort of qualifications and diversity.
The course covers a range of current and emerging topics including:
Students will have access to a compiled reader with the background theoretical material to study before the event. Students collaborate online to prepare for the event.
The on-site event will take place at Grundfos in Bjerringbro, Denmark in week 27 and week 28. The students (and teachers) are accommodated in boarding school next to the event. The event will be held in the Innovation Hub, which is a facility designed for collaboration.
Grundfos is one of the world’s leading pump and water solutions companies with a yearly turnover at 34.4 billion DKK in 2023. Circulator pumps for heating and air-conditioning as well as other centrifugal pumps for the industry, water supply, sewage and dosing are the main products. The Grundfos group has around 20,000 employees. The company was founded in 1945 in Bjerringbro, a small town 45 km from Aarhus (which is the second largest city in Denmark).
Advanced manufacturing engineering (AME) is one of the group functions which has around 240 employees located in Grundfos' headquarters in Bjerringbro. Back in 2022, AME created a close partnership with the University in Aarhus within
Electrical and Computer Engineering
Mechanical and Production Engineering
As a part of the partnership agreement, it has been decided to arrange a summer school in 2025 where focus will be to bring European engineer students to Denmark and let them work on interesting challenges linked to sustainable and competitive manufacturing, linked to future pump and water solutions.
The workshops will be held at Grundfos facilities in Bjerringbro supported by a mixed team from Aarhus University and Grundfos AME, including lab facilities.
Accommodation, breakfast and dinner will be arranged on a local folk high school in Bjerringbro. Staying at the folk high school will be free for the participants, except drinks which you will have to pay for yourself. Water is free.
