September and October 2012
The new UNITECH year started with the September Special in Aachen. A group of UNITECHs visited the popular Open Air Festival in the city of Aachen on September 13th. One week later a first get together of the LUC Sweden took place in the bar Foxes in Gothenburg. 15 UNITECHs used this opportunity to get to know the UAA better and having a good time enjoying some drinks. The LUC Switzerland organised their first event of the new UNITECH year in a cosy bar called Barflyz close to Zurich's town hall. Also the new Local Chapter in Loghborough had its first event organised.

In order to honour our "new members" we invited all LCC CH Alumni on the 2nd of May for the UNITECH Alumni bowling evening at Bowling West in Schlieren. Having been inspired by the Big Lebowski movie, we thought bowling being the optimal socialising event.

Once you have experienced in a UAA Symposium, you want to come back! That is at least what 100% of the participants answered in a survey about the UAA Symposium 2012 in Vienna.

At the end of January, the council met again for a weekend to discuss strategic topics as well as operational aspects of our work. These meetings are very important for us, as it is the only time we have to sit and work together. In between meetings we have to rely on virtual collaboration, which we will try to improve by implementing a project management tool in the next months.

UNITECH is supported by international technology companies, but how do these companies generate technology? Where does the innovation come from that leads to an ongoing successful business development in the high tech environment?
The LUC Aachen had the very fortunate opportunity to find out during the event “Innovation at SCHOTT – A tradition more than 125 years old”. Our special guest of the evening Dr. Reiner Mauch, head of Coorporate Business Development at SCHOTT AG, presented SCHOTT and its innovation management system.

October 15, 2011: St. Gallen, Switzerland
Early on Saturday morning, LUC Switzerland met at the Zurich main station. All equipped with a train ticket and warm clothes we were ready to leave for St. Gallen. The one-hour train trip suggested a good possibility to chat with coffee, orange juice and croissants – and so we did. In St. Gallen, our group was enriched by even more members joining. At this
