Research Partnerships
The BTU Cottbus-Senftenberg nurtures and promotes collaboration with non-university research institutions, partner universities, and major industrial partners as well as with small and medium-sized companies.

These collaborations are reflected in coordinated appointments, joint projects or in economic cooperation within the framework of technology transfer.
