Parliamentary State Secretary of the BMVg Thomas Silberhorn Visits SZENARIS Booth
This year again, the Bundeswehr has invited to the Education and Training Congress at the Helmut Schmidt University / University of the Bundeswehr Hamburg (HSU/UniBw HH) from 03 to 05 September. The congress is a further development of the Bundeswehr Distance Training Congress, which has been held annually since 2004 under the motto “Education and Training – Research – Technology” and promotes dialogue, networking and exchange with institutions and representatives of Bundeswehr vocational training. The education and training congress thus combines a scientific conference with a practice-oriented conference and also offers an accompanying trade exhibition.
The theme of this year’s congress is “In action for society – training and education for the forces of the future”.
The focus will be on the discussion of citizens’ expectations regarding the functionalities of social institutions: What perspectives do service occupations with mandatory availability offer young people? How do we deal with the challenges of individualisation, digitalisation, automation and robotization? How can initial, continuing and further training contribute to the development of action competences that have an impact beyond working life? To what extent can empirical analyses help to confirm or refute the subjectively negative assessment of current developments? These and many other questions will be discussed constructively and lively during the education and training congress.
Thomas Silberhorn, Parliamentary State Secretary at the BMVg, also visited the congress and showed interest in the services offered by SZENARIS. In the remotely controlled vehicles simulation, he personally convinced himself of how innovative digital learning through virtual reality can already be.
