Pforzheim University, in particular the Business School and the School of Engineering, are supported in many ways by the Förderer und Alumni der Pforzheim University e.V. (FAV for short). The association has been in existence for over 50 years and is recognized as a non-profit organisation. Both private individuals (sponsors, alumni, employees and students of the university) and companies can become members of the FAV.

The FAV focuses on four main areas:

• Promoting the quality of research and teaching, e.g. by equipping laboratories, institutes, learning and study centers or by promoting accreditation.
• Promoting student initiatives, such as the career and contact platform "Campus X", which organizes a biannual company fair at the university, or the "Rennschmiede", which competes internationally with a self-built car in formula student races.
• Promoting networking between alumni, students and companies, e.g. the school's alumni work and events for exchange of information and experience.
• Supporting individuals, e.g. students with children, scholarship holders, those interested in start-ups or through unbureaucratic help in emergencies.

Further information can be found in the image flyer or on the homepage. You can find the latest news there and on our Facebook page.

If you would like a personal meeting, please contact us by e-mail. Regular consultation hours and information about the association's activities are also available on campus: at the FAV desk in the foyer of lecture theatre building W1 on Tiefenbronner Straße. Drop by and have a look!
