With the new ['skai]-lab cooperation, BTU Cottbus-Senftenberg, the DLR Institute of Electrified Aero Engines and the Bundesanstalt für Materialforschung und -prüfung (BAM) are pooling their expertise in quality control, condition analysis and operational safety of additively manufactured components for electrified aircraft engines.

BTU Cottbus-Senftenberg is a partner in the Innovatorium Lausitz (ILAU) skilled labour project at Schwarze Pumpe Industrial Park. Together with the ISP special-purpose association, the BTU wants to develop the NEXUS-HUB - the centrepiece of the ILAU, which aims to qualify and integrate skilled workers from Germany and abroad and retain them in the region in the long term.

Pictures by long-time university employee Ralf Schuster are being shown in a new exhibition in the media library of the Senftenberg campus library at the Brandenburg University of Technology Cottbus-Senftenberg (BTU). All interested parties are invited to attend the opening on Wednesday, March 18, 2026, at 5 p.m. Admission is free.
