On 26 October 2017, Gerd Höfner will chair his first Advisory Board meeting at the Fraunhofer Institute for Experimental Software Engineering IESE in Kaiserslautern. The Siemens manager took over as chairman in March 2017, after being a member of the Advisory Board for three years.

Effective immediately, the institute director of the Fraunhofer Institute for Experimental Software Engineering IESE and holder of the software engineering chair at the University of Kaiserslautern, Prof. Dr. Dr. h.c.

The project EPICSAVE is one of the “Landmarks 2017”. The project is about the development, implementation, and testing of digital media in vocational training in the area of emergency medicine. Its aim is to develop a new training approach for teaching paramedics competencies for handling rare critical emergencies. The interdisciplinary consortium consisting of emergency physicians, experts in medical didactics, Virtual Reality (VR) und Serious Game specialists also includes Fraunhofer IESE from Kaiserslautern. Fraunhofer IESE is responsible for the medical didactics concept, the medical contents, and the evaluation of the project. “Germany – Land of Ideas” is a joint initiative of the German federal government and the German economy, represented by BDI.
