An event organized by the Zittau/Görlitz University of Applied Sciences in cooperation with the cross-border business network "enterprise europe network", the district of Görlitz (LernenvorOrt model project) and the PONTES agency, St. Marienthal.
Shortly before the summer break on June 27, 2013, we hosted the 12th Round Table Forum on the Görlitz university campus. As an open discussion forum between science/research and regional stakeholders on the topic of opportunities and problems in the transformation process of structurally weak regions, the round table once again offered 46 participants the opportunity to exchange ideas with each other as well as with experts and practitioners who otherwise operate outside our region.
The debate focused on cooperatives as an alternative form of cooperative business and their effects on regional development processes in the education, care, housing and mobility sectors in Upper Lusatia.
