Workshop area for further training started at Dir des T!Raum-Projekts syntral - Mobile training measures for Lusatia

Groupphoto of Scientists — Participants in the kick-off meeting for the syntral workshop area Weiterbildung bei Dir (f.l.t.r.): Marko Krsek & Rico Ullrich (POLYSAX), Dr Daniel Weck (ILK), Friederike Wittenburg (bsw), Roy Rechenberg & Dr Grzegorz Korpala (IMF), Dr Mike Thieme (ILK)

Aspart of the T!Raum project syntral,funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF),the transfer of knowledge and technology to the target region of Lusatia will be driven forward with innovative measures and structures over the next nine years. In this context, the syntral workshop area for Weiterbildung bei Dir started its work on April 22nd with a kick-off meeting.

The impending structural change poses considerable challenges for Lusatia, which can besuccessfully overcome if business, research and society work together. In Lusatia, the plastics and metal processing sectors in particular, with their predominantly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), have great potential to generate innovative products and services with the support of research, for example in the areas of lightweight engineering and the circular economy. Novel, effective transfer concepts, such as those developed in syntral, thus form the basic building block for innovation-based, regional structural change by strengthening the bond between companies and research institutions and inspiring people for modern technologies and methods. In the syntral project, various transfer activities are being set up and grouped thematically into workshop areas.

The aim of the recently launched syntral workshop area "Weiterbildung bei Dir" is to create new formats for on-site training for employees from the production and development departments of SMEs. The planned mobile training measures will present innovative, forward-looking technologies and methods of lightweight engineering and the circular economy in a way that is clear and tailored to the target group. The location-independent measures will impart specialist knowledge to trainees, technicians, developers and decision-makers in a low-threshold manner, thus realizing a transfer of ideas, methods and technologies. To this end, technical content is to be developed in personal training sessions and made tangible for participants through interactive experiments and technology demonstrators.

Representatives of the project partners Institute of Lightweight Engineering and Polymer Technology (ILK) of TU Dresden, Bildungswerk der Sächsischen Wirtschaft gGmbH (bsw) and Institute of Metal Forming (IMF) of TU Bergakademie Freiberg met at the project partner POLYSAX Bildungszentrum Kunststoffe GmbH (non-profit GmbH) in Bautzen and defined the first necessary steps in the project, in particular to ensure an open, cross-company and pre-competitive exchange of ideas and experience for the target region of Lusatia. All participants agreed that long-term sustainable innovation partnerships with SMEs in the target region should be established through cooperation on an equal footing.

The project consortium is dependent on the cooperation of companies to test the mobile training measures. To this end, companies in the target region will be approached by the project partners over the coming weeks and months.
