The 2nd NextGEng CEL Projects Round is organized in the spring semester of 2025. These projects focused on solving a proposed topic from a company or research group over one academic semester. In this way we facilitate close collaboration between students, HEI staff and company experts in an international environment that stimulates experiential learning.  

The topics for the second round are:

  • CEL 4 topic: Evaluation of the screws tightening and elongation in PCB mounting operations (proposed by Bosch Cluj Pant)
  • CEL5 topic: Automatic or semi-automatic cleaning to be developed for the doctor blade change device (proposed by Valmet)
  • CEL 6 topic: Products redesign via Additive Manufacturing (AM) (proposed by UJA RG)

A detailed description of the topics and the concept of the CEL Project is presented HERE.

In the second round a number of 54 students from University of Jaen, Jamk University of Applied Sciences and Technical University of Cluj-Napoca (18 from each university) will be selected to participate in the project. We invite you to get in contact with the CEL Project representative from your university and apply for participation.  

The selection criteria are:
-Transcript of records
