Over the years, Dortmund University of Applied Sciences and Arts and KU Leuven have been collaborating in the student- and teacher exchange, as partners in several European educational projects (ProDiT, ManDEE, WORK4CE), in common research, and in the organization of winter- and summer schools. At the beginning of November, the next step in the relationship between the universities will be done. 

On 7-8th of November, the members of the EuroPIM community from FH Dortmund and KU Leuven will meet in order to discuss the preparation of possible double degree study programmes between the universities. Professor Lauwers, the Dean of the Faculty of Engineering Technology of KU Leuven, is going to visit FH Dortmund on these days. 

As a result of this two-days meeting the next steps will be clarified, which will lead to the final purpose- the creation of double degree possibilities for students from both universities, who will get the opportunity to combine the unique advantages of both programmes.
