"I must say that I am very lucky guy. It was a great honor for me to represent Gdynia Maritime University during Bremerhaven International Summer School 2010 and I must say that it was one of the greatest times in my life. Do you think that learning during holidays is boring? For sure not in Bremerhaven. International Summer School is nothing like other boring lectures at your University. It is especially intercultural exploring with colleagues from all over the world. Frankly speaking, all lectures had very interesting programs." Michal Gorski (read more)

"Au cours de ces deux semaines passées, j’ai participé à plusieurs événements à la fois intellectuels, culturels et touristiques avec des étudiants du monde entier.
Dans un premier temps, j’ai fait la connaissance de mon partenaire de chambre Michal un polonais de 24 ans qui étudie l’ingénierie et fait parti des meilleurs étudiants de son école. Ensuite, nous nous sommes tous rencontrer dans l’amphithéâtre de l’école un à un puis les professeurs avec le directeur du Summer School. Nous étions 32 participants et les pays représentés par chacun étaient : Espagne, Colombie, USA, Japon, Chine, France, Russie, Corée, Ouzbékistan." Nicolas Tuchmann (read more)

"Si pienso en mis dos semanas en Bremerhaven solo pienso en algo precioso. Nunca antes había tenido una experiencia como esta, y tengo que decir que ha sido lo mejor que he hecho en mi vida. Descubrí una forma de docencia distinta: aprendía a la vez que me divertía. Las clases eran entretenidas y todos colaborabamos. Además no todo era estudiar, teniamos excursiones: a algunas de las empresas más importantes de la zona, a maravillosos museos y por supuesto a conocer cuidades y lugares cercanos, como por ejemplo Helgoland, Bremen."

"Summer School means a lot more than just „school” in the „summer”. It’s a unique way of gathering knowledge and sharing experiences with people from different corners of the world. It is also an adventure, which provides diverse views over the specific subjects, both scientific and casual. Having participated in Bremerhaven International Summer School 2009, I can share some top memories of mine. I had the opportunity to take part in the course called “Wind of Change” which was devoted to new energy technologies issues, mostly concerning the construction, logistics and (dis-)adventages of the wind turbines."
