Young Scientists in Jelenia Góra

HSZG guest at the 18th Young Scientists Conference of the Academic Coordination Center (ACC).

Zittau/Görlitz University of Applied Sciences (HSZG) was a guest in Jelenia Góra, Poland, at the beginning of November 2025 - on the occasion of the 18th Young Scientists Conference of the Academic Coordination Center (ACC). As in previous years, the international conference of young scientists was organized by the Wrocław University of Economics and the Academic Coordination Centre in the Neisse-Nisa-Nysa Euroregion (ACC).

The conference discussed contributions from students of all disciplines and degrees (Bachelor, Master, Diplom, PhD) and provided an excellent opportunity for "Young Scientists" to network internationally in the Zittau/Görlitz region and in the three-country region of Germany, Poland and the Czech Republic and to present their own research papers and projects. The best contributions will be published in the journal of the Academic Coordination Center.

Participants from the HSZG in Jelenia Góra were Prof. Dr. Sophia Keil (Vice President Research, Transfer and International Affairs), Inna Hauf (International Affairs Coordinator) and students from the International Tourism Management course. The "Opening Presentations" were held by Oliver Tettenborn (IHI International University Institute Zittau, TU Dresden) and Prof. Albrecht Löhr (Berufsakademie Bautzen).
