Visit of the Hans Böckler Foundation

The Hans Böckler Foundation offers students not only financial support, but also a wide range of seminars. We had the pleasure of taking part in an exciting seminar on the topic of ‘Data channels in the seabed - insights into the underwater infrastructure of the future’. We spent one day at the Faculty of Engineering at Kiel University. We were given presentations on various topics. Such as the geology of the seabed and the submarine cable incident between Finland and Estonia.

We were particularly impressed by the opportunity to take a look behind the scenes and experience the work of the students and researchers up close. We were allowed to visit the clean room and the special ‘paddling pool’ where experiments are tested directly in water. We were deeply impressed by the university and its diverse research opportunities. Thank you very much for your hospitality and the exciting insights!
