This year's summer party at the Consulate General of the Federal Republic of Germany in Wrocław brought together around 700 Polish and German guests from the worlds of politics, business, culture and science. As co-organizer, the Free State of Saxony looked back on 25 years of German-Polish cooperation in the Lower Silesia region. In addition to greetings from Consul General Kremer, Marshal Gancarz, Voivode Awiżeń and City President Sutryk, Saxony's Prime Minister Kretschmer emphasized the joint success story of the partnership between Saxony and Lower Silesia.
TU Dresden presented itself together with the transnational research center Center for Advanced Systems Understanding (CASUS) at the HZDR - founded in 2019 by the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR), the Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research (UFZ) Leipzig, the MPI-CBG - Max Planck Institute of Molecular Cellology and Genetics and the Uniwersytet Wrocławski.
