Friends & Sponsors Association
Motivation
Since its foundation in 1990, the main objective of the Friends and Sponsors Association (Förderverein Gebäude- und Energietechnik an der FH Erfurt e.V.) has been to encourage the practical training of our students. Various site visits and field trips, lectures by industry representatives at the Supply Engineering Colloquium and annual prizes for outstanding theses have all helped to achieve this goal.
