Young Scientists in Jelenia Góra
HSZG guest at the 18th Young Scientists Conference of the Academic Coordination Center (ACC). Student impresses jury and lands in 2nd place.
In early November 2025, the Zittau/Görlitz University of Applied Sciences (HSZG) visited Jelenia Góra, Poland, to attend the 18th Young Scientists Conference organized by the Academic Coordination Center (ACC). As in previous years, the international conference for young scientists was organized by the Wroclaw University of Economics and the Academic Coordination Center in the Neisse–Nisa–Nysa Euroregion (ACC).
The conference featured presentations by students from all disciplines and degree levels (Bachelor, master’s, Diplom, and doctoral candidates) and provided an excellent opportunity for “Young Scientists” to network internationally in the Zittau/Görlitz region as well as in the tri-border region of Germany, Poland, Czech Republic, and to present their own research papers and projects. The good papers will be published in the journal of the Academic Coordination Center.
The Zittau/Görlitz University of Applied Sciences (HSZG) was represented by Prof. Dr. Sophia Keil ( Vice President for Research, Transfer, and International Affairs), Inna Hauf (International Coordinator), and students Nina Wrzesinska and Tom Richter. The “Opening Presentations” were delivered by Oliver Tettenborn (IHI International University Institute Zittau, TU Dresden) and Prof. Albrecht Löhr (University of Cooperative Education Bautzen).
Congratulations to Nina Wrzesinska, who impressed the jury with her paper titled “The Influence of Employees’ Language Skills on the Recruitment Process, Internal, and External Communication in International Companies” and took second place. Nina Wrzesinska is pursuing a Master's degree programme in International Tourism Management at the HSZG.
It fills me with great pride to see how our students and young scientists enter international stages with passion and scientific curiosity. Such formats show that research in our region does not end at borders, but grows and has an impact through collaboration. My heartfelt congratulations go to Nina Wrzesinska, who won second place with her outstanding contribution and impressively demonstrated the potential of our young scientists.
