The Kontaktstelle wtt der Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg would like you to know about the following student competition:
With three new Ph.D. students this year and a strengthened relationship with Siemens CT (Corporate Technology, Siemens’ research arm), I had to clarify our research group goals, the mechanisms that help us reach these goals, and the metrics we steer by. Below, please find a graphics that illustrates the model that I came up with.
There are three layers resp. levels: Continue reading Strategic Goals and Measures of our Research Group Netdosis, the 2010 AMOS start-up project, is at it again (after winning a Medical Valley contest last year). This time, we entered the Northern Bavaria business plan contest and made into the top 10 winners (no more specific ranking provided at this stage). For Netdosis, this is the run-up to seed stage funding after relying on public funding (EXIST and FLÜGGE) so far. Good luck, guys, you rock! Heute haben wir zum ersten Mal ein Seminar zum Thema “Open Source und Universitätsprojekte” gehalten. Ziel war, Universitätsangehörigen zu vermitteln, wie Open-Source-Software und Strategien sinnvoll im Sinne unseres Arbeitgebers eingesetzt werden können. Neben den üblichen Grundlagen ging es primär um zwei archetypische “Geschäftsmodelle”, zum einen kommerzielle studentische Start-ups und zum anderen wissenschaftliche Gemeinschaftsprojekte als Beitrag zum öffentlichen Fortschritt. Das Seminar wurde nicht öffentlich angekündigt, da es nur für Universitätsangehörige bestimmt war. In zwei Sitzungen nahmen ca. 40 Personen teil. Für alle interessierten Personen, hier die Folien. We visited Appwork yesterday, a FAU-student-created start-up and provider of JDownloader, a desktop application for downloading files. We use it, mostly for downloading research talks and other instructional material. Appwork’s offices are located in downtown Fürth, in a beautiful loft, see photo impressions below. Sadly, I lost the main lounge photo, but still, you can guess what a fabulous work place it is!

Master Thesis, Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg: 2013. The AMOS Project is our flagship software engineering lab course. The course combines three main elements:
We teach real-world software engineering, and we do so by engaging industry to help us by providing project ideas and feedback. We then lead these student projects to become start-ups, if the student team is interested. An example of such a start-up is the 2010 AMOS project Mydosis, now Netdosis AG.
