The International Entrepreneurship Summer School (IESS) is an online program for a "hands on" introduction to the world of entrepreneurship and start-up culture.
In 2023, the International Entrepreneurship Summer School will take place from 04 - 08 September, with an initial kick-off event on 27 August.

The program is open to committed future founders.

The world is facing an enormous challenge in transferring aviation into a more sustainable and greener transport mode. Zero emission flights, including the wider mobility sector, are the current priority and require enormous research and development activities which can by no means be limited to classical aerospace disciplines.They require new interdisciplinary approaches, methods and teams covering all aspects from aerospace as well as areas such as materials and structures, chemistry, electrical engineering or even economics and social sciences. In our Summer School course, you can acquire both theoretical knowledge and practical project experience in the field to address these grand challenges, and to connect with fellow students from different countries.

The Summer School for Advances Sustainable Aviation Technologies will be held as a hybrid program in 2023: It will begin as an online event (14-17 August 2023) and then be continued as an in-person event in Braunschweig (21-25 August).
