OSE Europe/Universities

This page outlines the collaboration between Universities and OSE.

as I am contacting universities in Germany with mechanical/electrical engineering, regenerative energies, ecosystem design (and whaterver helps for bringing OSE R&D forward) right now in Germany I made also some thoughts about what we need to get universities to help us. Currently I am only contacting people familiar to me at different faculties.

I wrote some information about possible collaborations in the wiki, but very rudimentary. Whats very importatant when we want to obtain all the P1 and P2 places is really to offer them concrete projects and not just the vision. The vision is really good, but whe must somehow (i.e. for the university collaborations) get possible thesises out of the system engineering process and the managers have to be informed about this possibility to define thesises/projects etc. Is there already something like that, if not is there someone responsible to do that.

I think we should start something like a subgroup concerning with the topic how to get collaborations with universities (and other institutions), as to get these running we have to adapt the OSE infrastructure (for finding the thesis like said above) as well as connecting with the universities. Also we should minimize the time needed for an OSE Project Manager or Contributor to keep the thesis running (as students ofte not yet have the necessary experience in handling projects on their own). So I think we have to consider some aspects not yet findeable somewhere in the wiki. So important are people capable of being nodes to universities/collaborations. Perhaps capable in looking over ideas and concepts of the collaboration partner in respect to OSE standards. When interested, tell me!
