Syntral - Synergetic transfer area Lausitz-Dresden
Modern lightweight system construction is one of the key technologies for the increasingly important circular economy. The aim of the syntral transfer space is to design, develop and test new methods and low-threshold offers for the transfer of know-how to the economy of Upper Lusatia. In this way, the unique knowledge of the universities and research institutions should help to create high-quality, long-term stable and value-adding jobs for companies in the region. The transfer area focuses in particular on the plastics and metal processing companies with their more than 60,000 jobs in Saxony. In terms of methodology, syntral initially relies on multipliers and associations to initiate an open, cross-company, pre-competitive and synergetic exchange of ideas and experience in new transfer formats. The spectrum ranges from new, digitalized forms of training and further education to targeted personal development and cooperative real-world laboratories. Organizationally, syntral draws on the many years of experience of the selected partners, who have initiated and implemented a wide range of transfer formats and clusters at national and international level.
Workshop project: Decentralized Lausitz Campus (DLC)
As a syntral workshop project, the Dezentrale Lausitz Campus (DLC) focuses on the further development of vocational training and qualification. The aim is to secure the next generation of skilled workers in the region through modern digital learning methods and decentralized training structures.
Our main focus:

Further development of teaching and learning content and formats

Establishment of virtual learning environments to decentralize training

Establishment of virtual training locations (VAO) directly in companies

Increasing the attractiveness of training occupations and locations
