I was curious to experience the Summer Academy because some of the students have been with me in Essen for a Flying Classroom and we had a very interesting afternoon together discussing things from professional side but from personal side too with a deep understanding for each other. And therefore I was curious what is going on at the Summer Academy and that’s what inspired me to come.

Particularly because I am the first person in my family to have studied at university, it is very enriching to exchange ideas with, and listen to the experiences of people who are already going down the path I want to take, and who have similar attitudes towards life. The Summer Academy is far more than a fantastic learning environment. Way beyond that – and this is actually the important thing – it opens up new worlds, expands your horizons and creates excellent opportunities for further personal and professional development.

To my knowledge this is the only cross-foundational summer academy that combines the approaches of different foundations. The Summer Academy YOUNG TITANS is special.

If someone would ask me, what does the Summer Academy mean in one sentence, I would say, more questions, inspiration, friendship, and relationships.
Dr. Yves Bock
Honorary Mentor, General Counsel Energy Management Siemens AG
The atmosphere between the mentors and the mentees is to me very surprising, because it is so open. People are really interested in opening up and putting on the table what they are struggling with, what the questions are, they have to ask themselves, what decisions they want to take. That is very open and constructive.

Scholar Friedrich-Ebert-Foundation and Evonik Foundation
I literally loved the Summer Academy! It was such a unique experience to be surrounded by incredibly fascinating and inspiring scholars and mentors! The Summer Academy encouraged me to truly believe in myself and to follow my dreams, because success comes when we stay honest to ourselves and contribute to a higher goal with our personalities and our talents. So the key is to trust your guts!

You meet experienced managers as well as highly-talented, young and ambitious people, who, as a result of their talents, I suspect have a very interesting future ahead of them.

Scholar of the German Academic Scholarship Foundation
The Summer Academy was an especially valuable experience because of the great personal contact! I made many new friends, and through this newly developed network I received the chance to visit events at the World Economic Forum in Davos. I can recommend the Summer Academy to everybody!

The Summer Academy provides a lot of inspiration and gives you the impetus to be ones of the leaders in the future.
Amin Klein
Scholar of the German Academic Foundation
Through the Academy I professionalized my personal approach to dealing with successes and failures. In retrospect, I was able to re-evaluate my personal experiences and, in doing so, visualize future career paths.
