Opening of the exhibition: Herkules Racing Team | E-racing car from the University of Kassel

Exhibition: Herkules Racing Team | E-racing cars from the University of Kassel

The exhibition presents one of the most exciting projects at the University of Kassel: the students of the Herkules Racing Team build real racing cars for real competitions. They compete in Formula Student, an international design competition, against teams from other universities. At UNI:Lokal, you will learn that there is much more to it than fast laps and quick pit stops.

Highlights of the exhibition are three racing cars from previous seasons. Both car connoisseurs and laymen will find lots of interesting information. Test your driving skills in a vehicle simulator and achieve fast lap times! A Carrera track also invites you to join in and experience the speed.

Find out more about the exhibition topics and aspects of the design process in guided tours, coffee talks and lectures. Pupils and prospective students can take part in hands-on activities and study advice is offered.

You can find the accompanying program in the flyer and at www.uni-kassel.de/go/unilokal

Short presentation:
Helping to shape the mobility and energy transition at the University of Kassel
Prof. Dr.-Ing. Hartmut Hetzler, Prof. Dr.-Ing. Jens Friebe
(Deans of Studies of the Faculties of Mechanical Engineering and Electrical Engineering/Computer Science)

For decades, the Faculties of Mechanical Engineering and Electrical Engineering/Computer Science have been promoting sustainability through the development of energy-efficient technologies, resource-saving processes and intelligent systems. The Herkules Racing Team is a very good example of the interdisciplinary teamwork that awaits our students in this field later in their careers. The lecture provides an insight into the study opportunities that exist at the University of Kassel in connection with the mobility and energy transition and also highlights some highly topical research topics.
