The Federal Ministry for Digital and Economic Affairs is supporting the interdisciplinary FFG programme to the amount of some 900,000 euros. Partners from the domestic electronics industry are thus able to train personnel to become certified EBS specialists.
Electronics-based systems (EBS) are components, devices and systems with micro- and nanoelectronics and the associated embedded software. These systems form the basis for a wide range of digital products and processes – from autonomous vehicles to smart home solutions and intelligent machines. The development of such technologies requires not only special expertise but also, and above all, cross-disciplinary skills in the areas of hardware, embedded software and electronics-based systems.
Leading players make common cause
Under the direction of the Institute of Electronics at Graz University of Technology, an “innovation course” has been developed as a pilot project together with twenty partners from industry, science and business. Against the background of a high research dynamic and increasing competition from Asia and the USA, 67 employees of the partner companies participating in the course will be trained from February 2020 to July 2023 to become certified EBS specialists with know-how in innovation management.
Interdisciplinary transfer of knowledge
“There are already training and continuing education courses in individual EBS topics, but an interdisciplinary approach such as in this course is unique,” explains Bernd Deutschmann, scientific director of the course and head of the Institute of Electronics at TU Graz. Deutschmann points out that the previous internal company-relevant further training courses were associated with a high level of expenditure. “With this future offer, the consortium wants to close a gap in the labour market.”
After completion of the pilot on July 31, 2023, the course is to be sustainably integrated into the portfolio of TU Graz Life Long Learning, the service department for continuing education at Graz University of Technology, and will be open to all interested persons, also outside the partner companies.
The course is offered through the FFG programme "R&D Competences for Industry", which promotes close cooperation between science and industry and establishes sustainable cooperation between universities, universities of applied sciences and companies.

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
