Join us for an exciting session on "From Classroom to Industry: Empowering future developers with Open Source Technologies"! Representatives from different universities around the world will share their experiences of teaching FIWARE in their respective programs. They will discuss how they prepare their students to become industry-ready by imparting practical knowledge and hands-on experience with open-source technologies. This session will not only provide insights into how universities incorporate FIWARE into their curriculum but will also include a workshop component. The workshop, titled "How to empower future developers with Open Source technologies?" will explore strategies for effectively teaching open-source technologies, discuss the benefits of using FIWARE, and provide participants with the tools to successfully integrate FIWARE into their own programs. Don't miss out on this opportunity to learn from experienced educators and discover how you can prepare your students for successful careers in the tech industry!

• To fight climate change many countries and companies are heavily invested in renewable / decentralised
energy systems (e.g. windturbines or PV-plants), battery energy storage systems or electric vehicles.
• However, this requires a digitalization focused education for realizing the future energy system
🡪 Smart Energy education for urgently needed future experts !

• But a transformation of our energy systems based on dynamically changing renewable energy sources
(the so called „Energiewende“) needs digitalization efforts by properly educated people.

• Digital control of power plants & energy flows in distribution grids is required to ensure energy supply & grid stability.

PROSUMER homes – the energy PROducing conSUMER
How sustainable Smart Energy can be realized with buildings
*funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research

•We are analyzing data of seven almost
energy self-sufficient residential buildings
constructed by a local utility for private
households/residents.
•Part of a funded project* named "Smart
City Living Labs" at our university.
•Goal: Assessing prosumer scenarios with
renewable energies and electromobility
using FIWARE enabling technologies.
•Such buildings are based on smart energy
approaches and are seen as an important
building block on our way to the energy
system transition.
