How can endangered craft knowledge be preserved? BTU researchers and regional initiatives are focussing on personal stories: At the blueprint weekend in the Wendish-German Museum of Local History in Jänschwalde/Janšojce, the storytelling café becomes a living archive - and brings generations into dialogue.

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.
