TriRhenaTech
TriRhenaTech is a trinational alliance of 20 universities of applied science from the Upper Rhine region . It is funded from ERDF funds . The German, Swiss and French member universities pursue the goal of developing joint solutions in this alliance for social and economic issues in the areas of teaching, research, knowledge and technology transfer as well as innovation and further education . To this end, Allianz offers students various opportunities to gain cross-border experience and initiates joint research projects .
history
On November 13, 2014, the rectors of the universities of Offenburg , Karlsruhe and Furtwangen, together with the University of Applied Sciences Northwestern Switzerland and Alsace Tech , the association of engineering universities in Alsace, signed the cooperation agreement and founded TriRhenaTech. The first spokesman for the alliance was the rector of the Offenburg University of Applied Sciences , Winfried Lieber. In March 2015 the TriRhenaTech office was opened in Offenburg , which has been headed by Jean Pacevicius since then.
The University of Kaiserslautern joined the alliance in November 2015 ; the Baden-Württemberg Cooperative State University in Lörrach in March 2016 . Marc Renner, Director of the Institut National des Sciences Appliquées de Strasbourg and President of the “Rectors' Conference of French Engineering Schools ” ( Conférence des directeurs des écoles françaises d'ingénieurs , CDEFI) has been the spokesman for TriRhenaTech since March 2017 .

Offers for students
The promotion of cross-border mobility of students and the development of their intercultural skills are a core task of TriRhenaTech. Students can currently choose from ten bi- or tri-national courses offered by the member universities. In addition to the intercultural robotics competition " Trinatronics ", TriRhenaTech has also been organizing the annual summer school "Die Brücke" since 2014 . The aim of the competition is to build and program a pipe robot in intercultural teams that can drive through a pipe system and map holes as quickly as possible.
Sponsors and cooperation partners
TriRhenaTech works closely with the science pillar of the Trinational Metropolitan Region Upper Rhine (TMO). The alliance is funded by INTERREG , the joint initiative of the European Regional Development Fund ( ERDF ).
