For the first time, TU Ilmenau is offering young people up to the age of 26 the opportunity to do a Voluntary Year in science, technology and sustainability. For an entire year, the young men and women can actively engage with science and technology, develop their personalities and thus become clear about which career path they would like to take. Practice instead of theory, working together with researchers and having access to places they would otherwise never be able to go - this is what the Voluntary Year at TU Ilmenau offers.

The Voluntary Year in Science, Technology and Sustainability (FJN) is a new variant of voluntary service in Germany, in which high school graduates gain experience in research before beginning their studies. The volunteers up to 26 years of age are active for one year in universities, research institutions or municipalities and get involved, for example, in the environment, climate protection and nature. The offers of the TU Ilmenau are primarily intended for young people who have a good knowledge of physics and mathematics and are handy. But anyone who is interested in physical-technical issues and has always wanted to know what goes on in a laboratory can also join in. In parallel with the insights into research, volunteers are free to attend university events such as lectures and seminars. And if they decide to study at TU Ilmenau at the end, they can have the Voluntary Science Year recognized as their first academic achievement.
Currently, the TU Ilmenau offers three projects for a Voluntary Year: one in mechanical engineering and two in physics. Further offers will follow step by step and will be constantly updated on the project page www.tu-ilmenau.de/studium/vor-dem-studium/quicklinks/freiwilliges-jahr
