Last year, the Saxony5 collaborative project, involving five of Saxony’s Universities of Applied Sciences (UoAS), was extended for a further five years. Around 45 project participants from across Saxony attended the event.
Prof. Dr.-Ing. Gunther Göbel, Vice-Rector for Research and Transfer at Dresden University of Applied Sciences and overall project leader, outlined the key project objectives at the start of the event. In the pitches that followed, representatives from all sub-projects presented the objectives of their concepts. A key part of the kick-off was for staff from the Dresden University of Applied Sciences, the Leipzig University of Applied Sciences for Technology, Business and Culture, Mittweida University of Applied Sciences, Zittau/Görlitz University of Applied Sciences and West Saxon University of Applied Sciences Zwickau to get to know one another in person and to network.
In joint workshops, the participants discussed issues relating to the topic of knowledge transfer. Guest speaker Jan Frederik Kremer from the AiF then highlighted, with a touch of humour, the biggest pitfalls in knowledge transfer.
Participants were also able to make the most of their visit to Mittweida University of Applied Sciences to tour the Laser Institute, the Living Lab for ‘Motion Simulation & Software Development’, the Training Factory and the VR Laboratory.
There is a clear vision for the second phase of the Saxony5 collaborative project: to establish knowledge transfer as an integral part of the university’s mission.
Like research and teaching, knowledge transfer should be an integral part of everyday university life, thereby fostering a sustainable exchange between society, industry and academia and enabling us to jointly develop solutions to the pressing problems of our time.
As part of the ‘Innovative University’ initiative, launched by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research, the Joint Science Conference and the federal states, Saxony5 will further expand and establish knowledge and technology transfer in Saxony over the next five years.
