The German Scholarship Programme started in
summer semester 2011. The Programme was established by the German government
under the patronage of Prof .Dr. Annette Schavan, German Minister for Education
and Research. The objective of the Programme is to support talented and capable
apprentices, to honour excellent performance and to encourage a new culture of
foundation in Germany into action. In addition to particular success at school
or university special value is placed on high social commitment.
Now two scholarships have been awarded by the
Stuttgart Media University (HdM), which are financially supported by the
government and selected companies. There were more than 30 applicants for the
two scholarships, and one of the two awardees was Yvonne Lechner from the
German-Chinese double degree program for printing and media technology. This
globally unique course leads to a double degree as an engineer-bachelor of the
HdM and of the Xi’an Technological University. Advanced knowledge of media
technology as well as the Chinese language are taught as core subjects of the
degree program.
On June 28, 2012 Ms Lechner received her
certificate from Dr. Erich Frank, Head of Technology Management/Regulatory
Affairs at Flint Group. “Since I was a little girl I’ve been fascinated by the
Chinese language and culture. The fact that I also show interest in sciences
and in painting in my spare time are the optimum conditions to combine all my
interests”, explains Ms Lechner.
Flint Group is particularly interested in
promoting a competent next generation in the subject of printing and
collaborates on joint projects with the HdM in Stuttgart as well as other Universi ties around the
world. For example, the K+E-Award has been presented for almost 60 years, twice
per year, for the best master thesis in printing technology.
