What our customers say

„Many thanks to Steinbeis Europa Zentrum for the organisation and the cooperation with you during the Open Innovation Congress Baden-Württemberg 2021; it was very good. The choice of topics was good and the exchange with the organisers during the preparation was direct. Many thanks for the exciting virtual congress, through which some good contacts were made afterwards!“
Alexander Dregger, Forschungszentrum Informatik
„In November 2017, for the second time, we organised Energy4u at Karlsruhe University of Applied Sciences. For this second edition, we cooperated with Steinbeis Europa Zentrum, who contributed their successful ConnectIdeas2Business. Through their involvement, we were able to significantly upgrade the event to Energy4u: ConnectIdeas2Business, a marketplace for solutions in the energy sector. Both in the conception and in the acquisition of exhibitors, speakers and participants, the cooperation with Steinbeis Europa Zentrum was excellent.“

What our customers say

„Many thanks to Steinbeis Europa Zentrum for the very helpful training on the project application process. It was a great event, very professional, both in terms of content and organization. Now I feel well prepared for upcoming European project proposals.“
Johannes Röder, Zentrum für Digitale Entwicklung GmbH
„The complexity of EU calls and how to find my way around them to write a good application was explained to me in a very good, structured and technically sound way. The group work was very important for me. Examples of successful applications, exercises and the subsequent discussions with other participants gave me ideas that I would never have thought of myself. As a conclusion, I would say that, with such a well-structured application, I now easily leave two thirds of the applicants behind me.“
Matthias Rapf, University of Stuttgart, Institute for Sanitary Engineering, Water Quality and Waste Management
„In the certificate course, I learned what matters in the application process and what the specific criteria of the European Commission are. The three-phase concept of the course with a high level of practical relevance allowed me to consolidate what I had learned and to apply it directly in my professional environment. The trainers from Steinbeis Europa Zentrum were very competent and you can feel that they come from practical experience. They know first-hand the problems that arise when applying for and implementing European projects.“
Tom Kurdewan, Research Associate Industrial Engineering, Baden-Württemberg Cooperative State University
„The interactive trainings of Steinbeis Europa Zentrum form a sound basis for my own work on applications and in projects. The concrete examples from practice as well as the expertise of the trainers helped me a lot to get a better feeling for the sometimes-complex expectations of the EU.“
Christian Engelhardt, Interplast Kunststoffe GmbH/Infinex Group
