Project employee (m/f/d) Outreach and Networking - Reference: 19-2026 PMA Networking

The project aims to inspire, inform and encourage children and young people to try out STEM subjects for themselves through needs-based and attractive formats and offers. Our work focuses in particular on the transition from school education to a career. The offers are geared towards scientific groups at the HSZG and thus build bridges to the technology fields of the future. The focus is not only on the breadth of the offer, but also on the depth of the offer.

New science-oriented formats, such as the Junior Academy in Zittau, the Experimental House in Görlitz and mobile learning locations at Zittau/Görlitz University of Applied Sciences, are intended to raise the spectrum of the diverse STEM stakeholder landscape to a new level and, against the backdrop of major structural change projects, create a basis for the development of the region as a science location with target group-oriented, science-oriented STEM offerings. To this end, a network of all STEM stakeholders in Eastern Saxony is to be established on a sustainable basis, which will increase the effectiveness of the individual formats and offers through better quality, higher awareness and low-threshold access for the broadest possible groups.
