Tldr; We are expanding our sponsorship programme to specifically support university lecturers and academic staff. If you are leading an electronics course or a research lab in Europe, we offer individual PCB sponsoring starting from 500 € , supplemented by student vouchers and dedicated collaborative tools.
Empowering the Next Generation of Engineers
At AISLER, we believe that access to professional-grade hardware is essential for high-quality engineering education. To support this, we have tailored a sponsorship package for lecturers that mirrors our successful student programme but scales to the needs of entire departments and research groups.
The Academic Package: What’s Included?
• Individual Project Funding: We provide a sponsoring budget starting at 500 € per semester/project. This budget is dedicated to Beautiful Boards (bare PCB production) to ensure your prototypes and lab equipment are manufactured to industrial standards in Germany.
• Student Vouchers: To encourage independent learning, we provide individual AISLER coupon codes for your students. This allows them to order their own designs for coursework or personal projects using our Blitz or Budget service levels.
• Business Account Features: University institutes are treated as business accounts. This unlocks SmartTeams for collaboration between students and TAs.
Collaborative Requirements (The “Give Back”)
To maintain a sustainable partnership and foster knowledge sharing within the Creative Community , sponsored lecturers commit to the following:
-
Best Practices Posting: Share at least one in-depth guide in our Deep Dives or Circuit Appnotes category. This could cover topics like “Optimising Layouts” or “Robust Input Filters for Lab Power Supplies”.
-
Project Presentation: Post at least one showcase article detailing a specific project or lab result achieved with the sponsored hardware.
Technical Implementation: The Sponsorship Logo
To qualify for the integrated sponsorship discounts, all sponsored boards must feature the AISLER logo. We recommend our placeholder method to avoid EDA scaling issues.
Logistics and Compliance
All boards are Made in Europe , ensuring short lead times and no customs complications within the EU. Furthermore, all products and processes are RoHS and REACH compliant , meeting the safety and environmental standards required for academic environments.
How to Apply
Are you ready to upgrade your lab’s prototyping capabilities? Contact our project managers at developer-relations@aisler.net with a brief overview of your course or research project. We will then plan your individual sponsoring budget.
