Thanks to Software Campus, I’ve had the opportunity to connect with and build lasting friendships with fellow Ph.D. students from across Germany who share my interests. Moreover, in contrast to exclusively concentrating on theoretical research, Software Campus equips us for life beyond our Ph.D. studies by offering diverse training opportunities and fostering collaboration with partner companies.

To me, it is very exciting to witness how outstanding scientists develop themselves when they are confronted with business-relevant problems and responsibilities within Software Campus.

The Software Campus laid the foundation for my leadership skills. In various seminars, one’s own strengths and weaknesses were openly revealed – I learned a lot from that.

At the Software Campus, we work with top talents on ground-breaking research projects. It’s a great opportunity, on the one hand, to explore Horizon 3 topics and, on the other hand, attract talented people to ZEISS! Simultaneously, we continue to expand our academic network and strengthen Germany’s power to innovate sustainably.
