An up-and-coming research location with great potential
In Görlitz, the European City on the Neisse, renowned scientific institutions have settled in recent years.
06/07/2023
The spectrum of scientific research at the interdisciplinary research location Görlitz ranges from the digitalisation of the construction process to the topic of cyber security and research into biodiversity. Institutes such as Fraunhofer, Helmholtz, Leibniz, Senckenberg and CASUS are now represented in the European City and provide decisive impetus for the future development of the location and its internationalisation. The regional economy also feels these effects: The access to highly qualified specialists and innovative research results enables companies to develop new products and technologies and thus strengthen their competitiveness.
Scientists from all over the world come together in Görlitz
The research location Görlitz also benefits from its geographical location in the immediate vicinity of the Polish border, which facilitates cross-border research projects. The association Hi!Lusatia! has been in existence since 2023 to showcase the concentrated expertise on site. Its aim is to build a bridge between companies and research institutions and thus facilitate the transfer of knowledge. The University of Applied Sciences Zittau/Görlitz offers a variety of degree programmes focusing on engineering, technical and environmental topics and works closely with industry.
Location of the German Centre for Astrophysics
With the German Centre for Astrophysics (DZA), a major national research centre with international appeal is being established in Görlitz and the region. In future, astrophysicists will work here on pioneering projects to unravel the secrets of the universe. An open science campus with around 1,000 jobs is to be created at the Görlitz site for this purpose.
The DZA, like the other research institutions, offers great opportunities to show young specialists exciting prospects in Upper Lusatia. At the same time, people from all over the world come to the region to take advantage of the unique research landscape and work here. In addition, new jobs are being created for skilled workers in technical and commercial professions ranging from materials processing and electronics to purchasing and administration.
