The complexity of future ICT systems, their development, and subsequent use requires prospective technologists in science and industry to be sensitized to these new thematic contents and upheavals and their networking into interdisciplinary fields.
The target group is students of various technical and economic, but also interdisciplinary courses of study from all universities and universities of applied sciences in Germany. They should have sufficient previous experience but still be in the process of setting their main focus in their studies and final theses.
The Green ICT Camp is to be a joint initiative of the BMBF and FMD
and designed for a sustainable duration (at least three years) with annual implementation at different locations throughout Germany. For the regional implementation of each camp, various program partners from the fields of education (universities, colleges with ForLabs), science (FMD institutes), and business (local industrial companies, start-ups, high-tech start-up funds or associations) will be sought, who will be involved in the content and conceptual design at an early stage.
