          This opportunity will enable us to maintain cooperation with the best stu-
          dents for longer and possibly place them in building automation. The new
          challenges in this area in particular require the mix of theory and practice
          that we offer.

          universities?                                                      openweb.deos-ag.com
          Admittedly, the topic of smart building tends to have a national focus at
          FH Aachen. I only know of a few students who are pursuing their Master's
          degree in Austria. Due to the proximity to the border and the common
          language, we maintain cooperation with East Belgium, and there are also
          contacts with Luxembourg and other parts of Belgium.

          As a university, we would like to further promote international exchange and   BACnet /SC zertifizierte
          therefore offer an optional semester abroad. One example is a student who
                                                                    Gesamtlösung

          The building automation industry offers attractive career opportunities for   Complete BACnet/SC
          graduates. It is estimated that a quarter find their career start in this sec-  certified solution

          are unable to track their professional careers without gaps. Nevertheless,
          examples of our first graduates who have since successfully completed a
          Master's degree at other universities show that they remain loyal to build-

          careers depends heavily on their origin. Many of our international students,   Mit dem zertifizierten OPENweb (GLT)

          What can the BIG-EU do to get more people interested in BACnet
          and related courses? Is there any interest in introducing the
          association to students?

          greatest leverage lies in the area of buildings.

          I can respond positively to the request for cooperation. I imagine that a
          guest lecture could take place in the future as part of the subject “Digital
