Your Benefits

Educational programs based on project results: Working together for success

The trigger for a new educational product comes not only from RWTH International Academy itself, but also from single institutes of RWTH, from companies or is the result of funding projects and international educational cooperations.

The development, piloting and evaluation of such a program can already be a direct component of a funding project. This means that a high-quality program tailored to the needs and target group can already be developed and implemented during the project period. We actively support you in preparing the project results in innovative teaching and learning formats, designing the curricula and selecting the didactic methods.

Are you planning a project whose results are to be used in a continuing education program? We are happy to support you as an experienced educational partner.
