What our recent graduates say about the Medtec Summer Academy...

MedTec Summer Academy offered a perfect environment to utilize and deepen my knowledge in a stress free scenario. The connections I made there have already opened multiple doors for me and posed as a phenomenal entrypoint into my biomedical career.

At the MedTec Summer Academy, a few things are guaranteed: challenging projects with technologies you won't easily find elsewhere, good food, and a fantastic atmosphere. It's an experience you should have at least once – but can also be enjoyed multiple times!

Rober Feiner

FHTW Wien

The Medtec offers an exciting opportunity to apply knowledge practically and deepen it in a relaxed environment, while guest lectures and networking with experts from the medical technology field provide valuable insights and connections. For me, it was not only a confirmation of my skills but also the decisive step for my career path and the first contact with my first employer in the industry.

For me, the MedTec was not just an ordinary summer academy where it was all about learning, but there was also plenty of fun and nice conversations. I also had the opportunity to get to know many interesting projects and project partners. I can only recommend MedTec to others, because as well as gaining new knowledge, I was also able to make new friends.

Ready for a week in Horn?

Summer academies are also sprouting up in Austria, but there are still none on offer in the field of medical technology. Reason enough for us to create a further education format for the first time in Austria, where students, companies and science can meet intensively on neutral ground.

With the MedTec Summer Academy, we are creating space for the best: the best companies in your sector meet the best students. Students who are prepared to go the extra mile and thus achieve more. And we also aspire to be among the best. We bundle this concentrated power within the framework of the MedTec Summer Academy and thus create a win-win-win situation from which all participants benefit.
