At EGU24 in Vienna, students and faculty presented a joint poster to communicate their experiences on work placements and internships in a concise and visually appealing format. Integrated work experience in the geospatial curriculum enable students to use the knowledge and skills they have gained during their studies.

They increase their awareness of application areas within the sector, allowing the transition of skills from university to industry and vice versa.
Adequate learning experiences are agreed upon prior to start. The added value has so far been emphasized by all students.
