Dear students,

In the following we are forwarding you the information for an additional mentoring possibility from the RWTH International Academy:

The RWTH International Academy organizes Summer Schools for students from all around the world in cooperation with the International Office and Institutes of RWTH Aachen University each year. This summer the Summer Schools will be taking place in Aachen again!

Therefore, we are looking for Mentors who would like to join our July/ August/ September Summer Schools.

Dates

• 04.07. – 22.07.2022 - “Robotics, Communication Networks and Innovation” Summer School
• 11.07. – 29.07.2022 - “Automation and Simulation” Summer School
• 22.08. – 09.09.2022 - “German Engineering, Language and Culture” Summer School – the Summer School participants are students from a Japanese partner university, therefore becoming a mentor would be particularly appealing to those, who are interested in Japan.

Additional Summer Schools in August will be announced soon and will be visible in the registration form.

Responsibilities

We would like to provide the international students of each Summer School with Mentors from RWTH and FH, who support them during their stay at RWTH Aachen University.

All Mentors are welcome to take part in the social program of the Summer Schools. Activities usually include: a barbeque, a karaoke night, a hiking tour much more fun events. You can find more details on our website.

At the end of the Summer School RWTH International Academy will award all Mentors an official participation certificate for their efforts and support.

Furthermore, your commitment as Mentors can be recognized as a component for the certificate “Zertifikat-Internationales” (Certificate International): www.rwth-aachen.de/zi.

Ms. Chiara Weber is your contact for questions about the Certificate International.
