Networks, system integration and flexibility are key to the next phase of the energy transition. At the Brandenburg University of Technology Cottbus-Senftenberg (BTU), this transition is not merely being discussed, but is being actively shaped through research and practical application.

At the heart of Prof. Klaus Birkhofer’s research lies an often underestimated insight: gardens are highly complex ecosystems. At the BTU Cottbus-Senftenberg, on the chair of Ecology, he is investigating how biodiversity develops in urban and rural green spaces and what role predatory arthropods, in particular spiders, play in this process.

This two-day interdisciplinary forum focuses on topics relating to artistic research, media studies and the Philosophy of Technology. All interested parties are warmly invited to attend. Participation is free of charge.
