MVTec Software GmbH supports education and training in the field of machine vision. The MVTec on Campus program, which offers universities and students free access to MVTec software products for academic purposes, will celebrate its fifth anniversary in 2025. To mark the anniversary, the program will be enhanced with numerous new features and improvements. "Machine vision is an important area of automation. With the increasing shortage of skilled workers and competitiveness in manufacturing, the importance of this technology is growing. This is where we come in with the MVTec on Campus program by supporting future specialists already during their studies", explains Franziska Hartl, who is responsible for the "on Campus” program at MVTec.

For the fifth anniversary of the program, students now have access to the low-code image processing software MVTec MERLIC in addition to MVTec HALCON. The software is known for its ease of use and comprehensive functionalities, such as state-of-the-art deep learning methods. Another new benefit is the access to the MVTec Academy as part of the "on Campus Program". The MVTec Academy is a digital learning platform that offers interactive online courses on MVTec products. In addition to basic training courses, the platform also offers in-depth content for several areas of machine vision. The anniversary is rounded off with an anniversary campaign that includes webinars for students to learn more about the use of MVTec software products.
