Public talk (in German) “Vom Universum in die Lausitz – Faszination Astrophysik für alle”

Public talk
Prof. Michèle Heurs (Leibniz Universität Hannover) presents the ideas of the DZA as a national center with international visibility, driving resource-saving digitalization, developing new technologies, transfer to industry and creating new perspectives - firmly rooted in Lusatia. [more]

Public talk (in German) “Deutsches Zentrum für Astrophysik – Warum in der Lausitz?”

Public talk
Astronomy has always shaped our understanding of the world and of life on Earth. It was and is the driver of progress. Astrophysics today is a high-tech science with great innovative power. It faces major challenges in data processing, computing, and technology development – with much potential for science, business, and digital transformation. The DZA wants to take on these challenges.
