Founding Members
Eight international prestigious universities, chaired by TU Darmstadt, participated in an
initiative to conduct the first worldwide scientific study on "Global Engineering" starting in
October 2005. Technology and learning are our passion, which is the reason why Continental is
supporting the "Global Engineering Study".
As a leading international automotive supplier in the high-tech sector, Continental has actively promoted engineering education, reforms in academic systems, and the development of young engineers for many years. This commitment has now been integrated into a comprehensive Engineering Excellence initiative in close cooperation with eight international universities on three continents.
Continental strongly believes in partnerships with universities and is promoting this initiative as a responsible enterprise in a non-selfish way.
