CELSIUZ

The name CELSIUZ stands for well-equipped premises that provide space for creative work, networking and the initiation of innovative project ideas. Engineers, computer scientists, natural and social scientists combine their skills and transfer their research into knowledge transfer. Together with people from business and society, new solutions are sought for the challenges of our time.

At the heart of the Co-Creation Lab is a large simulation and training control station where a wide variety of scenarios can be modeled and tested on site. Information events, scientific workshops and discussion rounds are designed and carried out.

Area of application: CELSIUZ Laboratory - Decision Theater

In order to implement reliable and economical solutions for a climate-neutral energy supply as quickly as possible, cooperation between utility companies, society and universities must be strengthened. In the "Energy" transfer field, tools for designing technical systems, innovative technologies for energy conversion, transport and storage, as well as methods for optimizing operations are shared with company representatives and citizens at CELSIUZ. To this end, projects and expertise from the university's "Energy and Environment" research focus are presented in a target group-oriented manner. Concrete problems, such as those that arise when converting the energy supply to regenerative sources, are discussed using modern software for process simulation and analysis and solutions are developed.

  • What are our goals?
    • Knowledge transfer between universities and citizens on the challenges of switching to an energy supply from renewable energies
    • Strengthening the innovative power of small and medium-sized companies in the region
    • the transfer of knowledge between the university, research institutions and companies on innovative energy technology and modern methods for designing and controlling energy technology systems
  • Who is invited to take part?
    • Companies, public bodies and municipalities
    • Municipal and regional supply and disposal companies
    • Institutes and faculties of the five Saxon universities of applied sciences (Zittau/Görlitz, Leipzig, Mittweida, Dresden, Zwickau)
    • Social groups, organizations and interested citizens, students, pupils
  • What can you expect?

    -Co-creation:
    Concrete problems, such as those that arise when converting the energy supply to renewable sources, are discussed using modern software for process simulation and analysis and solutions are developed jointly.

    -Co-innovation:
    Joint use of modern simulation technology and IT in a creative atmosphere leads to continuous optimization of results

    - Network meetings:
    Event formats for knowledge transfer are developed, implemented and evaluated in the CELSIUZ laboratory


    -Further training and transfer events:
    Compact knowledge transfer for the challenges of the future
