Organization and structure

On January 01, 2019, the Centre for Continuing Education was established as an institution at BTU Cottbus-Senftenberg in teaching building 10. This consistent next step in the implementation of the legal mandate for the more intensive integration of academic continuing education at the BTU was prepared and discussed throughout the university. The ZWW assumes the tasks of continuing education in the sense of lifelong learning at the interfaces of university and professional practice (cf. Establishment Resolution Art. I Para. 1).

Organization and tasks

As a central scientific institution, the ZWW has an intensive research and development component. It works in close coordination and cooperation with the university bodies, faculties, institutes, external cultural and social partners and is accompanied by a scientific advisory board.

Scientific advisory board

According to the establishment resolution, point II Structure (5), the ZWW is advised by a scientific advisory board on fundamental and higher education policy issues in the area of continuing education, on program strategy and development. Professors from all BTU faculties and colleagues from relevant institutions of the BTU as well as multipliers from the economy and from the Ministry of Economy, Labor and Energy of the State of Brandenburg as well as external experts from science could be won for a profitable composition of the advisory board, which was appointed by the Senate of the BTU on September 10, 2020 for a period of four years.

The advisory board members will meet at least once a year. Further cooperation will also be coordinated via the Moodle platform .
