It's great to see that OMV and Borealis have contributed €3m to help expand four new departments within the School of Technical Science at Johannes Kepler University Linz in Austria, and support the launch of new plastic engineering degree programmes.

From the start of the winter term 2009/10 in October, a Bachelors degree in Plastic Engineering as well as a Masters degree in Industrial Plastic Engineering will be offered for the first time. The Masters degree in Plastic Engineering will follow in October 2010. Both master's programmes will be offered in English with Plastic Engineering, Polymer Chemistry and mechatronics as the cornerstones of the new programmes.

"With the new Plastic Engineering programme, Johannes Kepler University meets the requirements of the industry for highly educated specialists and researchers who will support the growth in our industry," says Alfred Stern, Borealis Vice President Innovation & Technology.

The registration period runs until October 29, you can sign-up online here.
