The focus of the "Study & Work" initiative is set on the acquisition of international students for the regional labour market. Over a period of two years ten local networks consisting of universities, actors of the economy, labour markets, community facilities and other public partners will be funded in order to develop and implement new concepts for graduate recruitment for the local labour market and to contribute to the acquisition of professionals. "Study & Work" is a shared initiative by the commissioner of the federal government for the newly formed German states, middle class and tourism and the Association for the Promotion of German Science.
In the initiative "Study & Work" VDI/VDE-IT is responsible for the contentual support and technically and organisationally supervises the ten selected network projects in the different stages during the biennial term.
