The history and future of energy research
The Saxony5 team made a successful contribution to the Open Monument Day at the CELSIUZ Co-Creation Lab.
Zittau, September 10, 2024 – On Sunday, September 8, 2024, the CELSIUZ Co-Creation Lab at the Mandau-Höfe in Zittau opened its doors for “Open Monument Day,” offering visitors a fascinating glimpse into the history and future of energy research. From 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., despite sweltering 30°C temperatures, over 300 interested visitors took the opportunity to discover the diverse offerings of the Saxony5 project team and learn more about the work of the Zittau/Görlitz University of Applied Sciences.
At CELSIUZ, we set up a “museum area” that highlighted the fascinating history of the Mandau-Höfe with product samples and chronicles from the textile industry’s heyday, as well as a digital interactive game on the energy transition that delighted visitors of all ages. In addition, visitors were able to trace the development of energy systems from the past to the present at the large control room and learn about the university’s current research projects. A ping-pong table provided some athletic entertainment, and information booths about studying at Zittau/Görlitz University of Applied Sciences also drew a great deal of interest.
Open Monument Day at CELSIUZ not only offered fascinating insights into energy research but also provided an opportunity to learn more about the Mandau-Höfe in Zittau and the university’s commitment to a sustainable future.
The positive response and the great interest shown by visitors made the event a resounding success.
