How can we achieve a secure and sustainable energy supply? The 26th Brandenburg Energy Day brings together experts from the worlds of academia, business, politics and public administration at the Brandenburg University of Technology Cottbus-Senftenberg (BTU) to discuss the future of energy infrastructure.

Networks, system integration and flexibility are key to the next phase of the energy transition. At the Brandenburg University of Technology Cottbus-Senftenberg (BTU), this transition is not merely being discussed, but is being actively shaped through research and practical application.

At the heart of Prof. Klaus Birkhofer’s research lies an often underestimated insight: gardens are highly complex ecosystems. At the BTU Cottbus-Senftenberg, on the chair of Ecology, he is investigating how biodiversity develops in urban and rural green spaces and what role predatory arthropods, in particular spiders, play in this process.
