University collaborations
We bridge the gap between higher education and real-world projects.
Applied research, practice-oriented teaching, and the support of emerging academic talent have been central to our commitment for many years.
Projektron collaborates with universities and student teams to give students hands-on experience with professional project management while they’re still in school. We provide BCS for courses and practical projects, share project management expertise, and foster collaboration between universities and the business world. This collaboration takes various forms. Students use BCS in courses and case studies, organize their own development projects using our software, or gain practical experience through a dual degree program at Projektron.
e-gnition Hamburg e.V. at the Technical University of Hamburg
Since fall 2025, we have been supporting e-gnition Hamburg e.V., the Formula Student team at the Technical University of Hamburg, with BCS and project management expertise. The student team develops electric race cars and competes with them against university teams from various countries in Formula Student competitions. Behind every vehicle lies a complex development project. The mechanical, electronics, software, and organizational teams must coordinate tasks, meet deadlines, and keep track of dependencies. Using BCS, e-gnition organizes its project work on a shared platform. Two team members further deepened their knowledge through a project management training course at Projektron. For the 2025/2026 season, the team developed the egn26 race car. Projektron is on board, too: The BCS logo accompanies the team on the vehicle to events and competitions.
Emden/Leer University of Applied Sciences
BCS will be used at the Emden/Leer University of Applied Sciences in the "Mechanical Engineering & Design" course of study in the subject of project management starting in the summer semester of 2021. This was preceded by a pilot phase with the use in student projects within the successful solar boat team as well as the supervision of project and final theses.
Prof. Dr. Agnes Pechmann, Chair of Production Planning:
The cooperation with Projektron for the installation of an own instance, the commissioning and the user support was or is easy, friendly, fast and uncomplicated. The use of BCS as a professional application example in teaching is particularly successful, as I now use BCS for my own projects and tasks with my team and students. This saves us quite a bit of time in task distribution and tracking and saves us from some communication misunderstandings.
Chemnitz University of Technology
Projektron is collaborating with the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering at Chemnitz University of Technology. As part of this collaboration, BCS was used in the application-oriented project management training program. Students worked in small teams on case studies and applied both traditional and agile project management methods using BCS in a practical setting. This allowed them to directly apply their theoretical knowledge of these methods using professional project management software.
Stralsund University of Applied Sciences
Prof. Dr. Michael Klotz, Stralsund University of Applied Sciences, advises Projektron on adapting BCS to industry-specific and quality standards. Projektron supports project management teaching at the Faculty of Economics. BCS is used productively in the bachelor's degree courses "Business Administration" and "Business Informatics".
In the course of the successful cooperation with the university, Projektron has already been able to hire three graduates directly after their studies.
Prof. Dr. Michael Klotz, Professor of Information Management and Business Organization:
The use of project management software is increasingly expected by project staff and managers in business practice. We therefore offer students comprehensive learning experiences in the use of IT-supported project management with the help of BCS, from the BCS introductory seminar to the semester-long case study in BCS.
Susanne Marx, Lecturer:
By working in depth with BCS, students have the opportunity to put their knowledge of project management to concrete use. In their group work, they learn about the advantages of project management software with its diverse planning, controlling and reporting options. In evaluations, we see that students especially appreciate this practical relevance.
Berlin University of Applied Sciences (BHT)
We have been working closely with the Berlin University of Applied Sciences (BHT), formerly Beuth University Berlin, since 2003. Prof. Dr. Petrasch teaches software engineering at the Department of Computer Science and Media and advises Projektron in particular on the implementation of process models for project management. Together with the department, the BCS implementations for the Scrum and V-Modell XT process models have already been implemented. In addition, BHT uses BCS in teaching.
Prof. Dr. Roland Petrasch, Professor of Software Engineering at Beuth University:
We use the BCS software in a variety of ways in teaching: students can organize their projects and receive a platform for communication, so that they receive important and practical support throughout the entire project and gain relevant experience in this area.
Marco Lawrenz, lecturer in project and quality management:
Projektron supports teaching at BHT by providing the BCS project management software and helping to carry out practical teaching sessions.
The company thus plays a major role in the university's targeted practical orientation. Students are given the opportunity to get to know a project management tool and plan their own projects on a BCS server. As part of this extraordinary cooperation, they can acquire an additional qualification and get a head start in their career planning.
The use of BCS in the 'Project and Quality Management' course is rated very positively by students, who are very happy to accept the company's offer.

Wildau University of Technology
Projektron has been collaborating with the Technical University of Applied Sciences in Wildau since 2008. Today, we continue this partnership with Prof. Dr.-Ing. Jörg Reiff-Stephan and Prof. Dr. Susanne Marx. As part of this long-standing collaboration, Projektron supports the practical application of knowledge in both academic studies and teaching. Among other things, BCS has been used in student projects, giving students the opportunity to gain hands-on experience with professional, software-based project management.

Free University of Berlin
At the Institute of Computer Science at Freie Universität Berlin, teams of students regularly carry out practical projects in collaboration with the business community. The computer science students use BCS to organize their projects. Our university liaison provides them with the necessary knowledge for practical application through a tailored BCS training course.
Berlin School of Economics and Law
Projektron has been collaborating with the Berlin School of Economics and Law since 2010. As a partner company in the dual degree program in Business Informatics, we offer students apprenticeships for their practical training phases, thereby combining university education with hands-on professional experience.
