ODEA.5G project recommended for funding

Within the framework of the 5G.NRW competition, the North Rhine-Westphalian state government has recommended 13 projects for funding and is making up to €26 million available for them. The aim of the initiative is to drive innovative projects with the new high-speed mobile internet connection 5G.

In the ODEA.5G project, Hochschule Bonn-Rhein-Sieg and the University of Cologne, together with the associated partners Deutsche Telekom AG, Electric Paper Evaluationssysteme GmbH and Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts are working on an e-assessment environment based on a 5G campus network. Equal opportunities, traceable, reliable and secure electronic examinations should be offered effectively and efficiently, even for large groups. These should be able to be completed with the students' own equipment, independent of location.
