About the"Open BTU" lecture series
From April 19 to June 14, 2023, the public lecture series "Open BTU " will offer interesting insights into exciting scientific fields. In the summer semester of 2023, the topics will include artificial intelligence, European educational cooperation, and water in the region, in addition to a social perspective on structural change in Lusatia. With this educational format, which is open to all interested parties, the university's Center for Continuing Academic Education supports lifelong learning and promotes the transfer of knowledge and ideas in the region by addressing socially relevant issues.
