Studytour Hefei & Shanghai, China

Our inaugural event, marking over ten years of experience with Study Tours, took us to China in 2012, visiting the partner university Hefei University of Technology and Shanghai. Thanks to the longstanding connection with Hefei University, initiated by Prof. Dr. Peter Ott, who had the initial idea for this series of Study Tours, we had the opportunity to visit the partner university with 20 students from the faculties of Technology and Business. During the tour, we conducted laboratory experiments, organized lecture series, and visited companies such as JAC Automotive, Bosch Siemens Hausgeräte (in Chuzhou), as well as the Waigaoqiao Free Trade Zone and Ebm Papst (Shanghai). This extraordinary interdisciplinary and intercultural experience marked the beginning of our Study Tour series.
