new perspectives for astrophysics in Hoyerswerda

In an exciting development in the field of astrophysics, the German Center for Astrophysics is financially strengthened with a campus in Görlitz and an underground laboratory south of Hoyerswerda. This is an important step to promote research and development in this area.

The signing of a paper with cornerstones for the construction and financing of the center by the state of Saxony and the federal government in the Federal Ministry of Education and Research in Berlin marks a milestone. Minister Bettina Stark-Watzinger and Prime Minister Michael Kretschmer, accompanied by Science Minister Sebastian Gemkow, were present at this important event.

by 2038, one billion euros of structural strengths secure the construction of the center. The state of Saxony covers the costs for the property purchase, development and contamination renovation to create the basis for future developments.

The German Center for Astrophysics currently employs 40 employees with the aim of employing around 1,000 people until the project is completed. Various research assistants are currently being sought to expand the team and optimize the research opportunities.

This financial strengthening and support on the part of the country and the federal government opens up new opportunities and perspectives for astrophysics in Hoyerswerda and helps to establish the region as an important location for future -oriented research. It is a step towards a promising future in the field of space research and astrophysics.
