CWIEME introduces engineers of tomorrow at CWIEME Berlin

CWIEME Berlin, which takes place from 5^th to 7^th May at the Messe Berlin, brings together international visitors from across the transformer, electric motor and generator industries, working in sectors as diverse as power and energy, automotive, consumer electronics, industrial machinery, military and aerospace. Its 750 exhibitors include global brands 3M, ABB, Alstom, ArcelorMittal, Shell and ThyssenKrupp.

A shortlist of finalists in the CWIEME Challenge will be invited to present their projects at the show, first in a poster zone and then in a live final. The winner will be chosen by the audience and awarded €1,000 in travel vouchers.

Projects entered should aim to improve the efficiency of electrical systems or components, whether through innovative design, material development or advancement, or application methods. Potential topics include e-mobility, renewable and smart grid technology, automation and robotics, alternative drive technologies such as variable frequency drives, use of permanent magnets and the greening of technology.

Entries may consist of projects in progress and/or yet to be published as a final paper, new investigations into improvements for existing or predicted challenges, prototypes or simulation tests, or results requiring further debate with the industry or academic communities.

“Whether you are a student looking to meet potential employers or a company seeking new recruits or academic partnerships, CWIEME Berlin offers unparalleled networking opportunities,” said Chloe Theobald, Content Manager, CWIEME Exhibition Series. “Nowhere else in the electrical design and engineering world do you find so many cutting-edge and influential individuals together under one roof.”

“Our focus is on finding and promoting ingenious projects, however large or small, that will ultimately have an impact on the future of engineering,” Theobald says.

The deadline for submissions is 17:00 GMT on Friday 6th March 2015.
