On Monday, June 10, 2024, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., you can participate in the creative workshop "An early shift for my Görlitz. Shaping Saxony as a land of science" contribute your ideas and visions for the future of Görlitz as a science location. Together, we will shape the transformation in the areas of studying, living, working and leisure.

"How should the living environment, university, leisure facilities and urban society be designed so that you can study in Görlitz? What would have to change for you to see your future in Görlitz?" These and other questions are the focus of the event.

After exciting workshops with scientists and future developers from business, culture and communication, you will present your ideas in a pitch to a high-caliber jury, including Minister President Michael Kretschmer and Science Minister Sebastian Gemkow.
