Networked information technology has become an integral part of our living and working environment. However, it also poses new challenges for business and society: Preventing hacker attacks and protecting data in the future is the central task of IT security.
This important topic was the subject of the major C2S3 Symposium hosted by Esslingen University of Applied Sciences on April 9 at the Flandernstraße campus. The conference is part of a series of events organized by the Faculty of Computer Science and Information Technology to give young scientists the opportunity to deal with these latest topics in computer science and at the same time gain initial experience in publishing the results of their research. At the same time, the aim of the symposium is to promote young researchers towards HAW professorships.
In addition to guests from teaching, research and industry, the C2S3 symposium was also attended by members of the HAWtech universities HTW Dresden, HTW Berlin, FH Aachen and HS Karlsruhe, which run projects to promote young scientists as part of the FH-Personal program and work closely together.
After the welcome address by Prof. Dr. Gabriele Gühring, Vice-Rector for Research and Transfer, and Prof. Dr. Tobias Heer, Dean of the IT Faculty, eleven scientific contributions followed in the form of presentations and a poster session. One focus was the presentation by Dr. Daniel Cichos. The coordinator of the 'Smart Factory Grids | DFG Forschungsimpuls' project funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) spoke about pioneering innovations and findings that could bring about change in the manufacturing industry.
The keynote speech was given by Cornelia Eitel, Senior System Architect at Hirschmann Automation and Control, on the topic of “The transformation of industrial networks”. Hirschmann Automation and Control GmbH is a subsidiary of Belden, one of the market leaders in the field of communication technology. The company, which is based in Neckartenzlingen, was a sponsor of the symposium.
In addition to the official stage program, attendees also had the opportunity to discuss common topics relating to the HAW professorship, such as appointment management, employer branding and working models. This resulted in many new impulses and ideas on how to meet challenges and advance the common goal of promoting young talent.
“Under the motto 'Achieving more together', the HAWtech alliance demonstrates how strongly the promotion of young talent at HAWs can be advanced through cooperation and mutual impetus,” said Prof. Christof Wolfmaier, Rector of Esslingen University of Applied Sciences and Chairman of HAWtech. “This joint strength creates the basis for attracting more talented people to professorships and providing them with targeted support.”
The symposium concluded with an informative evening on the topic of professorships at HAW. It was organized by the cooperation project “How to Prof” from the nationwide FH-Personal funding programme. UAS professors presented their life and career paths and answered many questions on the topic of UAS professorships. In addition, Alexandra Bartelt, Appointment Manager at Esslingen University of Applied Sciences, gave a presentation on the requirements for an HAW professorship and the associated application and appointment procedures.
