GHENT, BELGIUM – 12 October 2023 – The Ghent Workgroup (GWG) announces with great pleasure that the Darmstadt University of Applied Sciences is joining the group as its latest educational member. This will allow them to remain at the forefront of technology, network with an international group of print experts and participate in implementations and real-life best practices.

The Faculty of Design is one of a total of 12 faculties at the Hochschule Darmstadt. It conducts sophisticated design research and development and is internationally involved and networked in many ways. The study at the faculty is characterized by a special breadth of specialized specialization possibilities and excellently equipped workshops. In the field of communication design, they have a wide variety of laboratories to produce different and innovative print products.

Dr. Heiko Angermann, Instructor of Print and Media Technologies, quotes: “At the Faculty of Design, we produce highly individual printed matter using a wide range of soft- and hardware. We always aim to use the latest technologies efficiently and to convey them to our students. The GWG supports both aspects to the highest degree through regular exchange, its sub-committees and the broad network. At the same time, we can directly contribute to the further technical progress of the print media channel.”

Thanks to the educational Membership, they will have the ability to network with an international group of experts and pass on real life examples to their students. They will remain at the forefront of technology by having access to downloadable documentation and participating in interactive discussions. On top of that, the students from all our educational members can join and participate in international projects, organized by the Ghent Workgroup.
