30th International Electrical Engineering Olympiad "NEISSE-ELEKTRO"

The Neisse-Elektro is being held for the 30th time as an electrical engineering competition. This year, once again, twenty students each from Poland, the Czech Republic, and Germany are invited to compete in the STEM field.

Registration takes place online and is generally coordinated with the physics teachers at schools in the Neisse Euroregion.

The awards ceremony for “Neisse-Elektro 2024” will take place on March 16, 2024, at 2:30 p.m. in the Bürgersaal of Zittau City Hall. Minister President Michael Kretschmer will also attend the ceremony. Following a welcome address by the Mayor of Zittau, Thomas Zenker, the Minister President will deliver a greeting. Additional remarks will be made by, among others, the Marshal of the Lower Silesian Voivodeship, Cezary Przybylski, and the Captain of the Liberec District, Martin Půta.

Prof. Dr.-Ing. Cezary Dzienis from the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at the Zittau/Görlitz University of Applied Sciences will preside over the awards ceremony.

Background:

The Olympiad has been held since 1995 at the invitation of the Zittau/Görlitz University of Applied Sciences (HSZG). Each spring, 20 students from Poland, the Czech Republic, and Germany are invited to participate in this challenging electrical engineering competition.

The event is organized by a consortium of schools from the Czech Republic, Poland, and Germany in collaboration with HSZG. The students are prepared for the competition at their schools. The university also held two preparatory courses in the run-up to the event. These included an experimental lecture in the high voltage facility and a workshop on calculating and measuring electrical circuits with resistors.
