About EduNet

Around the world, there are very different and country-specific educational systems that realize national regulations and specifications in the field of teaching and research. The Bologna Process, agreed upon in 1999, aspires to create a uniform educational system for die EU member states. The worldwide dimension and accreditation has not yet been achieved.

On the other hand, long-term experience shows that a close connection and a dialog between industry and the universities have positive effects for all parties involved. These synergies can be increased by far by an international transfer of knowledge and technologies.

The Network


The “International Education Network (EduNet)“ was founded in 2007 on the initiative of Phoenix Contact in order to support universities and their partners. The aim is to be able to jointly react to global technical trends and developments.

Experiences and findings can be discussed in the course of intensive cooperation between the participating universities as well as between industry and the universities. Educational concepts that are both up-to-date and up to practical usage will then ensure the qualification of engineers, bachelors, masters and technical specialists in the following years.
