The Brandenburg-South regional competition of Jugend forscht was held for the first time and with great success on 4 March 2026. Around 40 pupils presented 25 independently developed research projects to a jury from science and schools at the Brandenburg University of Technology Cottbus-Senftenberg (BTU).

The Executive Committee of BTU Cottbus-Senftenberg is deeply saddened by the situation in Iran and neighbouring regions. Our thoughts and sympathy are with the people on the ground and with the members of our university who are worried about their families and friends.

12 hours of live power from the sternchen.fm studio: for International Women's Day, the BTU radio project is broadcasting a special 12-hour live programme. Under the title "Feminist Radio Day", the free radio station for Cottbus and Lusatia will take over the programme from 12 noon to midnight - with voices, sounds and perspectives from science, activism, culture and the community.
