Foundation of the VDE University Group

The network of tomorrow's engineers.

On October 16, 2019, Lucas Wünsche, Sven Kaminsky and Marcus Wöckel founded the VDE University Group Zittau. VDE stands for Verband der Elektrotechnik Elektronik Informationstechnik e.V.

By actively promoting the VDE at the first event format "Dialogue with the engineers of tomorrow" at the end of October 2019, the group has grown from three founding members to eleven active members. The aim of the VDE network is to support prospective electrical engineers individually in their professional and personal growth.

We are therefore delighted about the active support from the Faculty of Electrical Engineering at the HSZG and would like to thank Franziska Roos (Head of VDE Youngnet), Alexandra Lamprecht (JMA spokesperson) and Christoph Windisch (HSG Dresden) for their help in founding the group. In order to set up the university group as sustainably as possible at the Zittau location, the HSG cooperates very closely with the Electrical Engineering Student Council and thus tries to inspire students from different years to join the VDE network.

The VDE University Group Zittau is a member of the German Electrical Engineering Association. We are the network for the electrical engineers of tomorrow. As part of our activities in Zittau:

  • we establish new event formats and projects for student life in Zittau
  • we provide PDF access to VDE standards (instructions in the VDE Sharepoint)
  • we arrange contacts to individual specialist interests & to specialist working groups
  • we arrange contacts to companies for practical semesters in the VDE network
  • we facilitate excursions to the hotspots of the energy & automation industry
  • we provide you with free admission to the Hannover Messe
  • we connect you with other electrical engineering students in the KIA network for your projects

Connect with us via Linkedin or hsg-zittau(at)vde-youngnet.de

For the further growth of the VDE HSG Zittau we are looking for new members and further multipliers in the Faculty of Electrical Engineering.
