UAS Technikum Wien has currently two partnerships in South America, one of them is with Universidade Regional de Blumenau<\/em> (FURB) in Blumenau, Brazil. The International Office is always keen to ensure that partnerships are active and characterized by frequent mobilities. In order to revitalize and improve the partnership between FURB and UAS Technikum Wien, a visit was organized in January 2024. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blumenau: Brazil’s little Germany & Silicon Valley<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

The city\u2019s name Blumenau doesn\u2019t just sound German, it is German. Blumenau was founded as a German colony in 1850 and is named after the pharmacist Hermann Blumenau. Although, Blumenau\u2019s population mainly speaks Portuguese nowadays, the German influence is still visible. Each year, Blumenau celebrates the Oktoberfest, which is the biggest Oktoberfest in Latin America!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blumenau is situated in the southern federal state Santa Catarina, which is one of the smaller federal states of Brazil. Presently, Blumenau has over 300.000 inhabitants and is home to several large national and international companies. Due to the settlement of numerous companies that specialize in information technology, Blumenau (and the surrounding area) is also known as the \u201cBrazilian Silicon Valley\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Universidade Regional de Blumenau (FURB): Focused on the needs of society <\/h5>\n\n\n\n

FURB is one of the oldest and largest universities in Santa Catarina. It offers a variety of degree programs \u2013 from humanities to technical degree programs. Due to its location, FURB maintains a close cooperation with Santa Catarina\u2019s industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But FURB is not only closely cooperating with (inter-)national companies, FURB also has a very specific approach to its city and its inhabitants. The social needs of the city play an important role in the design of FURB. This can be seen in various projects, such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. FURB offers free charging stations for e-bikes and electric cars on Campus II. Everybody can use them \u2013 you don\u2019t have to study or teach there. The electricity is drawn from the campus’ own solar panels.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Furbot project: Students develop approaches (digital and analog, e.g. apps or board games) to raise awareness of technology and logical thinking skills in public schools. They regularly visit public elementary schools and present their creations. Public schools in Brazil are badly equipped, however with the FURB\u2019s help, disadvantaged sections of the population get access to education and technology.  Students from different study programs (Computer Science, Marketing, Arts, Education) work together on this transdisciplinary approach. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Red Howler Monkey Project: This breed of monkey, which is native to some Latin American countries, is currently threatened by extinction. Together with a zoologist, an app is being developed to enable recognition without sedation. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Impressions & Outcome<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

    During my time at FURB I had the opportunity to visit different locations of the university and to get to know various projects. Beside that, I had a productive exchange with the International Office, different lecturers and the rector herself. Due to its excellent cooperation with the local industries, FURB offers a perfect opportunity for our students to do an internship for their Bachelor\u2019s or Master\u2019s thesis here. A regular exchange semester is possible as well, but as the list of courses held in English is limited, students need Portuguese language skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Blumenau and its surroundings offer plenty of leisure activities. The city is home to various museums and the Vila Germanica Park<\/em>, where the Oktoberfest is celebrated every year. Blumenau is also the ideal place in Brazil to enjoy a local beer in a \u201cBiergarten\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The sea can be reached within two hours (Balne\u00e1rio Cambori\u00fa or Florian\u00f3polis have wonderful beaches! \ud83d\ude0a), there are a lot of hiking possibilities and national parks in Santa Catarina and if you want to explore more of Brazil \u2013 which I highly recommend \u2013 you can be in Rio de Janeiro or S\u00e3o Paolo within a few hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
