CODESYS in Education

Promotion and cooperation program for teaching and educational institutions

In the CODESYS Group, experienced software engineers and automation specialists work on the development of cutting-edge software that sets milestones in the world of automation.

Working with established industrial standards and employing latest technologies is a matter of course for us. That is why we attach great importance to close cooperation with leading teaching and educational institutions. Both sides benefit equally from the resulting transfer of knowledge and experience.

The CODESYS Group promotion and cooperation program covers the following aspects:

  • Free licenses for educational purposes
  • Free training, for example CODESYS basic training for teaching staff, free participation in public CODESYS standard training courses
  • Supervision of Bachelor and Master theses

The following requirements apply for the inclusion of institutes in the CODESYS Group funding and cooperation program:

  • The inquiring institute or teaching facility can prove an established teaching activity: The website of the University, technical college, vocational school or high school mentions automation technology as part of the core curriculum.
  • CODESYS licences issued free of charge are used exclusively for teaching or accompanying work within the scope of laboratories or internships. It is not permitted to pass on licenses.
  • CODESYS is actually used in teaching or training (e.g. as a basis for lectures, seminars, laboratories).
