As part of the course module Automation taught by Dr. T. Kleemann, the students of the Master’s degree course in Paper Technology visited Siemens Energy in Erlangen on a 3-day excursion. The focus of the trip was a workshop that introduces the Siemens Energy PCS 7 SIPAPER DCS for the paper industry. However, the excursion also featured a visit to the Siemens Energy transformer production plant in Erlangen and culinary delights in the evening.

At the end of the summer semester 2021, the graduates of the German Bachelor study course “Verfahrenstechnik Papier und Biofasern” (translation: Paper Technology and bio-fibres) and of the English Master study course in “Paper Technology”, took their leave from the Hochschule München University of Applied Sciences.
Due to the COVID restrictions the usual annual ceremony could not be held. This typically consists of festivities that includes family members and invited guests from industry. However, it was important to us to recognise the graduation of our students. Therefore, a cordial meeting in one of Munich’s famous beer gardens was organised instead.
The company ABB has fitted out a massive truck with high-tech systems for the pulp and paper industry. This truck is enormous and showcases some really advanced technologies. It is their version of a mobile exhibition booth. The truck is usually on a tour through Europe, but Mr. Tobias Kleemann was able to organise a last minute virtual tour for his students in the Paper Technology master’s programme at the Hochschule München University of Applied Sciences.

With the class „Intercultural Communication“ of the Master Paper technology a group of international students visited the Munich City Museum. It was far from just about city building. Among the highlights were typical Bavarian specialties as well as very old figures carved out of wood that look as if they were still dancing today. Nevertheless, they have also learned a lot about the old town and that only three of the four town gates still exist today. The visit was a nice end of the subject for the students. Now it’s time for the well-deserved semester vacations.
Every spring we look forward to it. The asparagus, whether with hollandaise or with pancakes. Nevertheless, the white stalks have to be peeled every time and at least a third of the good asparagus ends up in the trash. That doesn’t have to be the case. After two years of research in the lab at Munich University of Applied Sciences, there are results – the first asparagus paper has arrived. Would you like to learn more?

There will be an info session for the program on 07/21/2021 from 11am – 12am. This will take place via a livestream via zoom. Registration is possible until 21.07.2021 at 9:00 am with Ms. Kohr. Feel free to contact her and get all further information. No prior technical knowledge is required.
