MIT-Germany Program Workshop, January 2005
Wolfsburg, Hannover, and Berlin
"The Future of the Car - The Car of the Future: Concepts for Mobility in the 21st Century"
The MIT-Germany Program took 15 graduate students to a workshop in Wolfsburg, Germany, sponsored by VW, Siemens, Continental, and Lufthansa. Exploring the theme "The Future of the Car - The Car of the Future", students worked with young German professionals from Siemens and VW on a wide array of issues such as future concepts of mobility, production strategies for cars, and questions of global marketing. At the end of the workshop they presented their results to a wider audience at VW. Visits included the VW plant in Wolfsburg, the VW Auto-Stadt, the CONTI-DROM test track in Hannover, the historic headquarters of Siemens in Berlin and a cultural program in Berlin.
