We aim to make many functions freely accessible so that you can view content easily. However, not all content is visible when you are not logged in, so we recommend registering. Additionally, profiles, organizations and projects can only be created after registration. You can also only register for events once you have created a profile. Other STEM stakeholders will only be able to find you if you can be found via your profile.
With the MINT-ID, you can register for the MINTvernetzt community platform and the MINT-Campus at the same time. You only need to register once to access all features and offers of both platforms. The MINT Campus is the digital learning platform for the MINT community with freely accessible materials and learning opportunities for educational and project work.
The MINT-ID saves you time during registration and allows you to switch easily between the two platforms. You can continue using your MINTvernetzt account without a MINT-ID.
