SME5.0 mobility from KTH to UTGraz

By Seyoum Eshetu Birkie on November 17th, 2025

The secondment lasted for 1 month 17 Nov to 16 Dec 2025 at Graz University of Technology. The secondment was hosted by Prof. Dr. Franz Haas, dean of the faculty of Mechanical Engineering. Through this secondment, I had possibility to explore the different research undertakings of research groups and labs under the institute of manufacturing engineering (IFT) and had discussions on ongoing SEM5.0 research work with colleagues from the Institute of Business Economics and Industrial Sociology (BWL).
I would like to extend my special gratitude to my secondment hosts at TUGraz Prof. Dr. Franz Haas, Dr. Rudolf Pichler, Prof. Dr. Bernd Markus Zunk, Dr. Volker Koch, Mr. Martin Scharf.
