The Brandenburg University of Technology Cottbus-Senftenberg (BTU) is attracting more and more scientists from abroad as a research and teaching institution. Researchers from Sweden, Austria, Africa and Australia, among others, have recently recognized the opportunities in structural change to work on future topics such as energy transition, electric drives or climate neutrality. Such opportunities are also being recognized internationally, BTU President Gesine Grande told the German Press Agency. "This enriches us incredibly as a cosmopolitan, diverse and creative university."
For example, a young scientist came directly from India to work on a hydrogen project at the university, said the BTU President. Lusatia, which is moving towards renewable energies with the coal phase-out, is a direct field of application. "With these topics and the great practical relevance, we are succeeding in attracting people here to an extent that would not have been thought possible until recently - people who would like to stay here in the long term," Grande explained.
