Innovation meets tried and tested for successful studies
EDuStart strengthens the good framework conditions for studying and teaching at TU Darmstadt through a combination of innovative pilot projects and proven measures. The six EDuStart pilot projects explicitly address diversity, heterogeneity and various facets of internationalization. Another focus is on quality assurance of studies and teaching.
