FAU goes adidas

‘Knowledge in motion’ – the FAU motto is a fitting description for our close and long-term collaboration with adidas AG. Projects are run in close co-operation with the global company from Herzogenaurach across all areas of the University. As a result, adidas is a popular choice for graduates launching their career after leaving FAU.

 

“AM4FAU” – the FAU anniversary shoe

The AM4FAU shoe was presented at the ‘FAU goes adidas’ event at adidas’ World of Sports in Herzogenaurach on June 19 2018. You can find more information about the event and a picture gallery at fau-goes-adidas.eu.
