Summer semester 2021: Updated hygiene regulations at Hof University

Dear university members,

The summer semester 2021 is largely running in online mode. Even though the situation has eased considerably in the meantime, we must continue to exercise caution and, above all, still ensure sufficient distance. Practical work in the labs is made possible in presence. For the protection of all participants, we will provide quick tests for this purpose. You will find all important information about this as well as the updated hygiene concept, which will be valid from June 10, 2021, in the information about the summer semester 2021. And please check your mails regularly to stay informed about new developments during the semester. There you will receive additional hygiene concepts that apply specifically to lab exercises and exams in a timely manner.

Please note that masks are mandatory on campus in all hallways and foyers - including individual workstations there - as well as in restrooms and outdoor areas marked with a sign and colored line.

A map showing the designated outdoor areas can be found here.

International Teaching Weeks 2021: Digitally successful but with a touch of melancholy

Following the biennial cycle, we held our International Teaching Weeks 2021 this spring, despite the pandemic. Unfortunately, it was not possible to hold it according to the proven pattern of the past years, when we received our guest lecturers from the partner universities for a week in Hof and they worked with our students on site. But we took the opportunity to try out new digital formats on an international level.

Power generation in aquacultures, wastewater treatment plants and sewers - sustainable and efficient

A new research project of the Institute for Water and Energy Management at Hof University of Applied Sciences aims at promoting the potential and usage of hydropower in existing water facilities. The project "Network for the Generation of Energy with Hydropower in Existing Water Facilities (NEEWa)", funded by the European Social Fund (ESF) with 417,000 EUR, strengthens the knowledge transfer from the Green Tech University Hof to regional companies. In addition, the project contributes to the success of Hof as a center of competence for water and renewable energies in the region.
