Structural change in Lusatia

The BTU as an innovation driver in the region

As a university in the heart of Lusatia, the BTU is actively involved in shaping the region. It realizes the goals of sustainable structural change through excellent research and smart knowledge and technology transfer. Supported by the Structural Strengthening Act, Lusatia is becoming an attractive location for science and business.

The Structural Change Department accompanies the BTU's major task as a pulse giver in a fertile research network. It pools information from the BTU's structural strengthening projects, accompanies their development, networks, advises and visualizes. Our profile line managers keep an eye on the university's research profile and find topics and diversification approaches to position the BTU broadly and responsibly in the structural change and the Grand Challenges of our time.
