Parliament - Gemkow: Saxony should become a beacon of science
Saxony wants to better showcase its scientific potential. All considerations, measures and investments are designed to "transform the Free State from today's hidden champion into a European beacon of science with appeal far beyond its borders", said Science Minister Sebastian Gemkow (CDU) in the state parliament on Wednesday. This would make Saxony even more attractive for specialists and top scientists.
Gemkow presented key measures for the further development of Saxony as a location for research and science in a specialist government statement. This requires future-proof structures. One building block is the expanded structure of the higher education system. In addition to universities, colleges and art colleges, the system will in future be based on another strong pillar - the Saxony Cooperative State University. With the corresponding conversion of the vocational academy, Saxony is responding to the demand for skilled workers.
According to the Minister, Saxony wants to use digitalization in studies and teaching to enable flexible learning paths and strengthen learning success. The universities should act as catalysts for the regional economy. Incentives and structures must be created to increase the exchange between research and practice. It is also important to translate research results into marketable products and services more quickly. There should also be a focus on the further development of non-university research.

To achieve this, they plan to enhance the higher education system, integrating a strengthened Saxony Cooperative State University, as stated in the state parliament. Gemkow further highlighted the role of universities in driving regional economic growth, emphasizing the need for faster translation of research outcomes into marketable products and services. The CDU politician also emphasized the role of non-university research in this transformation, drawling comparisons to the lighthouse guiding sailors in the ocean.
