Computing Centres, artificial intelligence, maritime future spaces – and right at the heart of it all, a cyanobacterium that is set to strike fear into liver tumour cells. At the invitation of the Minister-President’s Representative for Lusatia, Dr.-Ing. Klaus Freytag, in collaboration with the Lusatia Economic Region and the Cottbus Chamber of Commerce and Industry, media representatives took part in the ‘Media Tour of the Lusatia Region of Opportunity’.

On the initiative of Prof. Dr Wolfram Berger, Vice-President for Internationalisation at BTU Cottbus-Senftenberg, the EIZ and BTU have further expanded their international activities in India. The aim of the outreach mission was to establish new partnerships in research, teaching, innovation and entrepreneurship.

BTU researchers are developing a mathematical model to optimise the deployment of autonomous rescue drones in the Lusatian Lake District
