Lausitz Science Network
The Lusatia Science Network e.V. (LSN) is an alliance of research institutions that want to jointly develop the strengths of the research location Cottbus-Senftenberg and increase its visibility.
Under the umbrella of the association, which was founded on December 14, 2022, the research institutions involved in Cottbus and Senftenberg cooperate with the aim of jointly strengthening the research location. The participants hold joint conferences, promote young scientists, initiate joint scientific projects and invest in the recruitment of specialists and the marketing of the science location.
