Award ceremony for young scientists

On December 7, 2017, outstanding achievements in cross-border cooperation within the Neisse-Nisa-Nysa Euroregion were honored during a festive ceremony at the Steinhaus Bautzen.

As part of this event, student projects were recognized in the “Young Scientists” category. The awards honored projects that contributed to solving Euroregional challenges and problems.

This year’s first prize in the “Young Scientists” category went to Ondřej MOŠ from the Technical University of Liberec for his outstanding findings on the topic “Social Responsibility of Family Businesses in the Czech Republic.”

Computer science student Stefan Strehler from the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at our university was honored with second prize in this category for his outstanding achievements. He impressed the jury with his work on the topic “Design and Implementation of the ‘Zielscheibe’ Application.” An improvement in academic performance in classes / courses at the Zittau/Görlitz University of Applied Sciences and, in the future, also at other educational institutions in the Euroregion.”

“Zielscheibe” was developed at the HSZG and made available to everyone under https://zielscheibe.hszg.de/ . This means that other colleges and universities can also use this tool. If there is interest, this application could later be made available in other languages as well. This would allow educational institutions in Poland or the Czech Republic to benefit from it as well.

A second second-place prize was awarded to Maja Wiśniowska from the Wrocław University of Economics, Branch for Regional Economics and Tourism in Jelenia Góra, for the results of her thesis “Cross-Border Cooperation in the Development of Tourism Infrastructure: The Case of the Nysa Euroregion.”

Prof. Reinhardt Hassa, as chairman of the Friends of Zittau/Görlitz University of Applied Sciences e.V. and the Rector, Prof. Friedrich Albrecht, offered their congratulations and presented a cash prize for this award.

It is thanks to the initiatives of the Academic Coordination Center of the Universities of the Neisse Euroregion that this award has now been presented for the ninth time.
