We want to help young people find their way into the business world. To this end, we support young academics and scientists through a variety of initiatives and projects, some with an international dimension. We conduct a range of studies at different sites in collaboration with universities and polytechnics. In addition, we ensure that we have access to the latest research in our field and direct interaction with the academic and scientific community by awarding dissertation places, student grants and teaching contracts. In turn, our own expert speakers give lectures and seminars at various university faculties.

Wincor Nixdorf aims to widen this exchange of expertise with universities and research centers. At the same time, we want to strengthen our contacts with students and young scientists who view Wincor Nixdorf as a potential employer in the high-tech sector and, in particular, the area of software development. Therefore, we offer them interesting projects as part of our internship program.

In Germany, one example of our collaboration with research establishments is our long-standing partnership with the Fraunhofer Institute. Of significance at a regional level is our new partnership with the Software Quality-lab (s-lab) as well as our long-standing teamwork with the Heinz Nixdorf Institute at the University of Paderborn. We also cooperate with regional universities of applied sciences, especially in the field of mechatronics. In addition, we provide selected institutions with support in the form of hardware and software.

To help introduce young people at an early stage to information technology, Wincor Nixdorf also maintains close contact with schools. We offer pupils an opportunity to see how science and technology can be applied in practice. We arrange internships, hold project days and support competitions and campaigns.
