In addition to two exciting specialist presentations, including one on the energy-economic evaluation of CHP plants, the students were given a unique insight into the dimensions and processes of a large-scale plant. LEAG's site development in Lusatia was also presented. In addition to the development of a hydrogen supply system for local public transport in Cottbus, the construction of a floating photovoltaic system on the Cottbus east lake (post-mining lake of the former Cottbus-Nord open-cast mine) was also presented. Both projects, as well as many others, are unique in Germany.

The students were able to gain a good insight into the necessary measures and framework conditions for the energy transition in Germany.
