Die European Career Fair (ECF) ist die größte Karrieremesse mit Fokus auf den europäischen Arbeitsmarkt in Nordamerika und in ihrer Art einzigartig. Die Messe zieht jedes Jahr tausende BesucherInnen („Candidates“) an und ermöglicht den Ausstellern („Employers“) den direkten Kontakt mit hervorragenden AbsolventInnen von amerikanischen Top-Universitäten und Institutionen. Die ECF wird jährlich (seit 1997) am Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) vom MIT European Club veranstaltet. Seit 2007 gibt es neben den klassischen "Companies" auch eine eigene "Science & Technology Section", in der speziell Non-Profit Unternehmen, wie zum Beispiel auch brainpower austria, auftreten. Die Messe ist eine großartige Gelegenheit für europäische Unternehmen, junge Talente und erfahrene ForscherInnen anzusprechen und direkt vor Ort Bewerbungsgespräche zu führen.
brainpower austria - der erste österreichische Beitrag
Bei der ECF 2008 präsentierte brainpower austria am eigenen Messestand eine Auswahl an österreichischen Jobanbietern und aktuellen F&E-Jobs in einer eigenen Messebroschüre, die insgesamt von 22 österreichischen F&E-Institutionen als Plattform genutzt wurde. Darunter finden sich renommierte Namen wie IMP, IMBA, Siemens, Infineon, Böhler-Uddeholm, Austrian Research Centers und große Universitäten. Die MessebesucherInnen konnten auch direkt vor Ort unsere F&E-Online Jobbörse benutzen und sich über alle kostenlosen Serviceleistungen von brainpower austria informieren.
Mit diesem internationalen Auftritt konnten wir einen wichtigen Beitrag leisten, um österreichische F&E Institutionen im internationalen Wettbewerb um die besten Köpfe zu unterstützen. Interessierte Unternehmen sind bereits jetzt aufgerufen, sich bei brainpower austria für die ECF 2009 zu melden!
Informieren Sie sich im Detail zur European Career Fair 2008:
Looking back at my last report about the European Career Fair (ECF) and further developments of my project MIT-Austria (previous article), I am now pleased to offer you some insight from the point of view of one of the presenters at the ECF 2008 at MIT:
"As Austria’s first representative I participated in the 2008 MIT European Career Fair, representing „brainpower austria“, a non-profit program presented in the ECF’s Science & Technology Section. brainpower austria is a program of Austria's Federal Ministry of Transport, Innovation and Technology (bmvit), managed by the Austrian Research Promotion Agency (FFG), Structural Programs Division.
I found the ECF as very well organized and was quite impressed by the large number of registered candidates from all over the world. The whole fair day kept me busy and I had the chance to speak to many motivated people about their concerns and ideas about a research career. It was mainly Europeans who stepped up to the brainpower austria booth but also Americans and people from other countries as well asked about our services and opportunities in R&D in Austria. There was also a number of Austrians who attended the fair and warmly welcomed the idea of Austria finally participating in an event like this.
One of our major services is our online job listings that are used by many Austrian employers to post their R&D vacancies. At the fair booth people could browse the listing and take a brochure including a selection of 22 Austrian employers, with current open positions.
I think the ECF is a unique opportunity to get in contact with a lot of highly qualified academics and establish ties with (Austrian) employers. I’m happy we made this step, and I have to say it was a good start! We plan to extend this co-operation and also encourage Austrian employers to be part of the ECF themselves. Regarding the Austrians, I was happy to see some familiar faces and to meet new ones, like DI Daniel Pressl. It’s great to see young talented researchers who want to change things and get things started, like Daniel and his MIT-Austria program."

NEWS
Fall 2008
Unfortunately, due to a lack of available funding from the Austrian and Carinthian government, MIT-Austria could not be realized as a foundation of student exchange and collaborative projects between MIT and Austria.
July 2007 - MIT-Austria on the Verge of Realization
2006 - THE IDEA
MIT-Austria Exchange
This MIT-Austria Exchange Organization has not been founded yet. However, there are a few students from Austria, who made it to the reputable Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the number is increasing:
Peter Wagner (MIT, Fall 2006); Triple M, Montanuniversitaet Leoben)
Further students: Laura Droessler (MIT, Fall 2007), Andreas Maier (MIT, Fall 2007), Bernhard Heine (MIT, Fall 2007 and Spring 2008), Markus Dohr (Spring 2008)
The invited students receive the status of visiting student or interns.
There are organizations that already lead large student exchanges. However, it certainly is not an easy task, if possible at all, to get into the best engineering schools in the world and MIT is one of them.
To have a contact at such a university is certainly a big advantage and that is what this Organization will try to strengthen at the first place, to strengthen the global bonds between Austria's universities and companies with international universities that Austrian students usually can only dream of.
Later on, after enlarging this network and receiving great feedback from both sides, we would like to go further ways and possibly form a well-known student exchange organization.
The researchers and students from Austria are certainly no less intelligent or gifted than students from other places around the world. Let's show that to everyone!
MIT - Austria Projects
2fast4u - High Speed Photography Exhibition
A collaboration between MIT and Austria
This exhibition organized by DI Daniel G Pressl, originally from Austria and currently residing at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), is a further initiative to strengthen the bonds across the ocean. The artistic and scientific work of students from MIT, the Stiftsgymnasium St. Paul and the HTL in Wolfsberg, Carinthia is united in a fascinating display of real-life objects, as well as an astonishing gallery and collection of High Speed Photography.
