The HSZG shapes structural change by bringing together technological innovations and insights from the social sciences. From energy and semiconductor technologies to regional identity and new forms of participation: we integrate economic, environmental, and social dimensions. This combination of hard and soft location factors makes Lausitz a pioneer for post-coal regions—in both Europe and Asia.
Our strength lies in efficiently transferring knowledge and technology into practice. Close cooperation between science, business and society creates solutions that promote sustainable development and regional innovation. This is how transfer has a real impact - for the region, its companies and its people.
The HSZG shapes transformation where it takes place: in cities, rural regions, and cross-border areas. Our research provides concepts for post-coal regions and makes the HSZG a strong partner for transformation processes affecting society as a whole. We develop future perspectives for long-term structural change and design initiatives that promote dialogue with society.
