Environment Day and the Launch of the Year of Science 2026/27

Climate change presents us with major challenges—particularly due to increasing heat waves and their consequences. At this year’s Environment Day, we’re focusing on climate adaptation and heat protection. Learn from the example of Zittau how cities and municipalities are taking proactive steps to safeguard our quality of life and protect our environment. Join us and discover how sustainable solutions are making our city more resilient.

This year, we’re diving into the future of medicine. How can we rethink health in the future? How can innovative technologies, artificial intelligence, and interdisciplinary research help us detect diseases earlier, tailor treatments more specifically to each individual, and keep people healthy for longer? We want to work with you to find answers to these and many other questions.
