University Outreach Hub Luckenwalde
Cooperation between the University of Applied Sciences Potsdam, the Technical University of Applied Sciences Wildau and the city of Luckenwalde for a University Outreach Hub of the Brandenburg Universities in the district town of Luckenwalde in the district of Teltow-Fläming.
Background and goals
Many companies and a large part of civil society lack direct access to universities in the predominantly rural region of Brandenburg. For this reason, the Ministry of Science, Research and Culture of the State of Brandenburg(MWFK) supports several University Outreach Hubs in regional growth cores (RWK). Fifteen cities and city associations are being supported in strengthening their scientific and economic potential. The Brandenburg universities are responsible for setting up, expanding and anchoring the University Outreach Hubs in their regions.
Procedure and tasks
The concept was to use an 800 square metre hall in a commercial courtyard to initiate and support new opportunities for university cooperation with companies, the Luckenwalde Regional Growth Core and civil society. In close cooperation with various actors in the region and the early integration of citizens, a lively university presence was created.
The facility aims to combine four main areas of content: a makerspace, a co-working space, a test bed to try out new technologies and a showroom with the possibility of exhibiting technical developments or prototypes from the universities. This creates a starting point for discussion with potential business partners, possible users and civil society.
The Luckenwalde Presence Centre is a project funded by the Ministry of Science, Research and Culture of the State of Brandenburg (MWFK).
The office is located in the Gewerbehof, Beelitzer Straße 24, 14943 Luckenwalde.
